Song Lyrics “Is Anybody Going To San Antone”
It sure is cold today
And here I am’a walking down sixty-six
Wish she hadn’t done me that waySleeping under a table at a road side park
A man could wake up dead
But it sure seems warmer than it did
Sleeping in our king size bed
Is anybody going to San Antone
Or Phoenix Arizona
Anyplace is alright as long as I
Can forget I’ve ever known her
Wind whipping down the neck of my shirt
Like I ain’t got nothing on
But I’d rather fight the wind and rain
Than what I’ve been fighting at home
Yonder comes a truck with the US mail
People writing letters back home
Tomorrow she’ll probably want me back
But I’ll still be just as gone
Is anybody going to San Antone
Or Phoenix Arizona
Anyplace is alright as long as I
Can forget I’ve ever known her
Anyplace is alright as long as I
Forget I’ve ever known her
