John Mayall Jacksboro Highway Lyrics

Jacksboro Highway Lyrics

Just outside of Fort Worth, Texas, one ninety-nine

There's a rundown strip of night clubs, been there for a long, long time

Get on, now, towards Jacksboro, do you see the neon flashin'?

Hell, man, they got it all there, if you're lookin' for some action



They got the Craps game at the Black Cat, strip tease at the Duce

And over at the Skyline, it's always loud and loose

The winos bummin', the rich folks slummin'

Watch out, man 'cos the cops ain't comin' down to



Jacksboro Highway, Jacksboro Highway

Jacksboro Highway, there's always something goin' down



You better watch your back, boy, you better cover your bets

The further down that road you go, the rougher it's gonna get



Remember standin' at the [Incomprehensible] lounge

Broken glass and blood on the ground

Better forget every thing you see

Even if it's murder in the first degree



Out on Jacksboro Highway, Jacksboro Highway

Out on Jacksboro Highway

Always somethin' goin' down



The winos bummin', the rich folks slummin'

Watch out, man 'cos the cops ain't comin' to



Jacksboro Highway, Jacksboro Highway

Jacksboro Highway, there's always something goin' down
