John Mayall - Jacksboro Highway lyrics

rate me

Just outside of Fort worth<br />

Texas one ninetynine<br />

There's a rundown strip of old night clubs<br />

Been there for a very long time<br />

Head on out towards Jacksboro<br />

Till you see that neon flashing<br />

Man they got it all there<br />

If you're looking for some action<br />

<br />

They got the craps game at the Black Cat<br />

Strip tease at the Duce<br />

Over at the Skyline<br />

It's always loud and loose<br />

<br />

Hey the winos bummin'<br />

Rich folks slummin'<br />

Watchout man<br />

'cous the cops ain't going to<br />

<br />

The Jacksboro Highway<br />

Jacksboro Highway<br />

Jacksboro Highway<br />

There's always something going down<br />

<br />

You better watch your back boy<br />

You better cover your bets<br />

The further down that road you go<br />

The rougher it's gonna get<br />

<br />

Remember that stabbing at the Peppermint lounge<br />

Broken glass and Blood was on the ground<br />

You better forget every thing you see<br />

Even if it's murder in the first degree<br />

<br />

Out on the Jacksboro Highway<br />

Jacksboro Highway<br />

Jacksboro Highway<br />

There's always something going down<br />

<br />

Hey the winos bummin'<br />

Rich folks slummin'<br />

Watchout man<br />

'cous the cops ain't going to<br />

<br />

The Jacksboro Highway<br />

Jacksboro Highway<br />

Jacksboro Highway<br />

There's always something going down
