Too much peace and quiet's
Gonna drive you crazy
When you've spent too many wild nights
On the road

Once more the devil in me
Wants his freedom
And I've got to give it to him
Or I'll explode

So you better lock up your town
Lock up your daughter
Here I come, headin' for the border
Someday I know I'll have to pay
For my wild and wooly ways

I'm gonna make one more tequila memory
Like an outlaw ridin' hard from Mexico
I'll be wanted for a crime of being restless
And showing the ladies everything I know, yeah

So you better lock up your town
Lock up your daughters
Here I come, headin' for the border
Someday I'll have to pay
For my wild and wooly ways
C'mon now, you better lock up your town
Lock up your daughters
Here I come, headin' for the border
Someday I'll have to pay
For my wild and wooly ways

Lock up your town
Lock up your daughters
Here I come and I'm headin' for the border
Someday I'll have to pay
For my wild and wooly ways
