Lyrics:

Walkin' into Abelene
I don't believe my luck has changed
Lower than a snake and twice as mean
When you read a map of Texas
And decide what route the best is
It don't show you dry counties in between

Sometimes you can tell where you're goin'
Sometimes you can tell when you'll arrive
Even a blind dog will find the bone sometimes
Sometimes I'm just lucky I'm alive

They say the greatest trick the devil pulled
In the whole story of the world
Was telling us he wasn't real you see
But the way that woman bats her eyes
And tells me what I know are lies
About made a believer out of me

Sometimes you can tell where you're goin'
Sometimes you can tell when you'll arrive
Even a blind dog will find the bone sometimes
Sometimes I'm just lucky I'm alive

So I lost a lot of friends
And some good women in between
And I seen the light
And now and then it's plain
That the meanest trick the devil pulled
On me since I been in this world
Was tellin' me to pick guitar and sing

Sometimes you can tell where you're goin'
Sometimes you can tell when you'll arrive
Even a blind dog will find the bone sometimes
Sometimes I'm just lucky I'm alive
