Jacksboro Highway - John Mayall, The Bluesbreakers

Just outside of Fort Worth

Texas one ninetynine

There’s a rundown strip of old night clubs

Been there for a very long time

Head on out towards Jacksboro

Till you see that neon flashing

Man they got it all there

If you’re looking for some action

They got the craps game at the Black Cat

Strip tease at the Duce

Over at the Skyline

It’s always loud and loose

Hey the winos bummin'

Rich folks slummin'

Watchout man

'cous the cops ain’t going to

The Jacksboro Highway

Jacksboro Highway

Jacksboro Highway

There’s always something going 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 that stabbing at the Peppermint lounge

Broken glass and blood was on the ground

You better forget every thing you see

Even if it’s murder in the first degree

Out on the Jacksboro Highway

Jacksboro Highway

Jacksboro Highway

There’s always something going down

Hey the winos bummin'

Rich folks slummin'

Watchout man

'cous the cops ain’t going to

The Jacksboro Highway

Jacksboro Highway

Jacksboro Highway

There’s always something going down
