Lyrics
I feel the heat. I'm on the backroads. Looking for that moving line. I feel the heat. I'm on the backroads. Heading for that moving line. I never did nothing wrong, just hanging on to what is mine. i went to Cruces, to Amarillo, I stayed away for a day or two. I went to Cruces, to Amarillo, I stayed away for a day or two. I gave them time for figuring all the things I didn't do.
I'm at the crossroads, I'm in the crosshairs, I need some help to get a plan in sight. I think that I'll go on to Tupelo. I need a place where I can think tonight.
A brief vacation, some consternation, I hope they do forget it all. A brief vacation, small consolation, I hope they do forget it all. But I think I'll just drive on because I'm sure they'll come to call. I'm at the crossroads, I'm in the crosshairs, I need some help to get my plan in sight. Don't know where I'll go if you're not in Tupelo. I'll be back on that road tonight. I feel the heat. I'm on the backroads. Looking for that moving line. I feel the heat, I'm on the backroads, heading for that moving line. I never did nothing wrong, just hanging on to what is mine.
