                     E 
I've gone through Arizona, right through New Mexico 

I'm gonna keep on driving just as hard as I can go

I'm an Interstate daddy

Taking my lonely heart back home

Back to the only gal I've ever known

E                                                         E 
When I cross through old El Paso my heart will fill with pride

Ain't gonna stop for nothing

Till I see the lights of San Antone
