The Armadillo Jackal Robert Earl Keen

The Armadillo Jackal - Robert Earl Keen
The evening sun was sinking down
A chill north wind, it blows
The new-plowed ground was cooling fast
The river rolls and flows
Beneath the two lane concrete river bridge
Between my place and town
On that hot bed farm-to-market road
They call 1291

I'm sayin' son, you'll see me searching
Sizzlin' down that broad highway
Dollar signs in both my eyes
I'm seeking out my prey
I'm praying, "Jesus, will you send me
"Just another three or four?"
They pay two-fifty down in Hallettsville
Three dollars, maybe more

And more than likely they'll be out tonight
A-wanderin' from the farm
Waddlin' down 1291
To keep their bodies warm
I'm talking walking belts and neckties
And boots for rodeo
They don't run too fast, don't waste much gas
I'm making lots of dough
