Travelin round the Lone Star state you sure can have a ball,
Stayin out way too late Feels like we've seen it all,
From Corpus up to Amarillo everybody's heard the news,
Watch out San Antonio can give you the north side blues

All the nights and miles and memories they feel like one big dream,
And you just don't know what to expect when things ain't what they seem,
Just when you think that you're ahead and you finally paid your dues,
Then you wake up the next morning with a case of the north side blues

Chorus:
San Antone! San Antone!,
Why don't you leave me alone,
You know I've always loved ya,
You make me feel at home
But you took all those things from me now
Some things I hate to lose,
Every time I go back to you now,
You give me the north side blues,

Well we grooved on to El Paso way and across to Austin too,
And travelin down the river walk is a real fun thing to do,
But be careful not to lose yourself and listen to my clues,
Or you'll wind up just like me Singin thE north side blues,

Repeat Chorus
