At a quick shop somewhere west of Alburquerque, got a tank of gas, a cold drink, and a beef jerky. The cashier she gave me a smile so I stood there and talked to her for a while.
She said where you headed I Hope you get there soon. I seen 'em all say long from 4 AM 'till noon. Some are running from, some are running to. Some are running blind, which one are you
Well I said it don't appear to me to be so cut and dried. You don't know me from Adam, can it be so black and white I said I've got a plan, you see I got it figured out. How can you be so sure my dear what I am all about
She said I've stood in this window for 27 years. I can tell you cash or credit, I can tell you brand of beer, I can tell you who's a liar and the truth is plan to see, that's your last twenty, boy and don't you lie to me
And ther's a girl in Albuquerque cryin' ain't there and your standing in a quick ship lyin' ain't you
Well, she handed back my twenty and said you know what to do. If you drive it study son you'll be home this afternoon. I hate to judge you, I don't mean to seem unkind. But there's ain't no use running if you're only running blind. No there ain't no use sunning if you're only running blind.
