E5                    
Well, I caught you with him on those damn satin sheets, 
     A5                    B5             E5 
So I packed my things and then I hit the streets 
E5                        B5 
87 southbound to San Antone 
                                      E5 
It's getting late out, I ain't got no home 
E5                             A5 
The pavements burning down at 92   
                E5               B5                    E5  
I don't need to hear no more excuses and I don't love you 
 

E5                               B5 
Lord, the sun keeps beating me down 
                     E5  
And it's hotter than hell 
            B5                                       E5 
And if I'm lucky I'll catch a ride but you can never tell 
    A5                                           E5    
I'd rather be here with the bugs and flies than back there hearing your alibis 
B5 
Heard all that I'm gonna hear you say 
                                         E5  
I'm gonna take my pride and go the other way 
 
 
87 southbound to San Antone 
It's getting late out, I'm 40 miles from home 
The rain keeps falling like the tears in my eyes 
I'm just trying to wash away the hurt from all your lies 
 
Lightening streaks across the evening sky  
And if I'm lucky I'll make it big or lay right down and die. 
I know when the morning comes I'm gonna be a walking son of a gun 
And afternoon comes rolling around 
I'll have ten more miles and one more town 
 
87 southbound to San Antone 
I's getting late out, I ain't got no home 
The pavements burning at 102 
I don't need to hear no more excuses and I don't love you. 
I don't need to hear no more excuses and I don't love you.
