Calf Rope Songtext
von Guy Clark

Well, the last time it snowed in Del Rio, hell froze
I could not believe that I missed it
So far from the border, so close to the line
Son, I almost got down and kissed it

But it′s too far from home, and it's too late to look back
Two times a night make it tough
Bee Spears showed me the day that I met him
Too much ain′t never enough

Oh the Lord, this old road, she's enough to make you holler
Calf-Rope, make you holler Calf-Rope


Let me just say that the road to good intentions
Is paved with the fools I've been
You can get up or stay up, it′s just the same come sun up
All you got to do it is go again

Lord, this old road, she′s enough to make you holler
Calf-Rope, make you holler Calf-Rope
Calf-Rope, make you get your nose
To the road grind runnin' right on road time
Gone deaf dumb and road blind you can chalk it up to road crime
It′s a fool of the road kind tryin' to make the road rhyme with
Calf-Rope, I say Calf-Rope, make you holler Calf-Rope
Make you holler Calf-Rope
