lyrics

just outside of Fort Worth, Texas 199 there's a rundown strip of nightclubs, been there for a long long time
head on out to Jacksboro, see the neon flashing, man they got it all there if you're looking for some action

there's a crap game at The Black cat, a strip tease at The deuce, over at the Skyline, they're playing it loud and loose

Winos bummin', rich folks slummin', watch out man cause the cops aint comin'
to the Jacksboro hiway.......always something going down

you better watch your back, you better cover your bets, the further down that road you go the rougher it's going to get
remember the stabbing at the scoreboard lounge, broken glass and the blood on the ground, you better forget everything you see, even if its murder in the first degre on The Jacksboro Hiway....always something going down
