Guy Clark
Calf-Rope
[Verse 1]
Well the last time it snowed in Del Rio, hell froze
I could not believe that I missed it
So far from the border, so close to the line
Son, I almost got down and kissed it
Oh but it’s too far from home and it’s too late to look back
Two times a night make it tough
Bee Spears showed me the day that I met him
Too much ain't never enough

[Chorus]
Oh Lord, ain't this road just enough to make you holler
Calf-rope, make you holler calf-rope aw-waw

[Verse 2]
Now let me just say that the road to good intentions
Is paved with the fools that I've been
You can get up or stay up, it’s just the same come sun-up
All you got to do it is go again

[Chorus]
Lord, ain't this road just enough to make you holler
Calf-rope, make you holler calf-rope
I said calf-rope

[Bridge]
Make you get your nose to the road grind
Running right on road time
Gone deaf, dumb, and road blind
You can chalk it up to road crime
It's a fool of the road kind
Trying to make the road rhyme, well
[Chorus]
Make you holler calf-rope
I said calf-rope
Make you holler calf-rope
Make you holler calf-rope
