Lyrics
My name is Ellis Turner I've been around
I worked every odd job in every odd town
Stacked drill pipes for Exxon in the gulf of Mexico
Drove a long haul truck with a two ton load
I'm here and gone I'm movin' On
Then I found me an angel in a desert town
In a jukebox bar playing a Patsy Cline song
We got a little place she was happy I thought
But she was like me and couldn't stay in one spot
I'm here and gone I'm movin' on
Later on in Albuquerque I was doin' pretty good
Steady work and a room feeling like I should
Then the well ran dry no one to turn to
Now my bones are weary and my boots are worn through
I'm here and gone I'm movin' On
Hitched a ride to Alamosa I was Livin' in a tent
But then the cops came and away I went
Now I'm here in Santa Fe in the cold in the snow
Thought I knew someone here but now they're saying I don't
I'm here and gone I'm movin' On
My name is Ellis Turner and I gotta' to go
I'm here in Santa Fe and it's starting to snow
