Tucumcari (Live)

Gonna run away to Tucumcari

Make camp where the land is bare

I'm gonna run away to Tucumcari

Ain't no one gonna find me there

Ain't no one gonna find me there

Found trouble in the town I come from

Left six months ago or so

I had to run from the man I wronged there

With no aim as to where to go

And I'm told that the law ain't there yet

And the ones who tried are dead

But if the lawman come to find me

I'll make that river red

I'll make that river red

I'm gonna run away to Tucumcari

Kick dust of the riverbed

And in the shadow of the Spanish fortress

I'll lay my weary head

To an Indian girl I'll marry

On a calico horse we'll ride

I won't leave until I'm dead and buried

With the silver in the mountainside

Gonna run away to Tucumcari

Kick dust up the river bed

In the shadow of the Spanish fortress

I'll lay my weary head

To an Indian girl I'll marry

On a calico horse we'll ride

I won't leave until I'm dead and buried

With the silver in the mountainside

I'm gonna run away to Tucumcari

Make camp where the land is bare

I'm gonna run away to Tucumcari

Ain't no one gonna find me
