Lyrics:
To See That Woman of Mine [Version (a)]:
Put whiskey in the gas tank, put blood on the wheel
I got a chaw of tobacco and I'm down with the deal
Well, I know that I'm loaded and I'm out of my mind
I got to make it to Texas to see that woman of mine
Now my face is all bloodshot and there's a stain on my shirt
If I don't make it to Fort Worth, someone's bound to get hurt
Yeah, no no I'm loaded and I'm out of my mind
I got to make it to Texas to see that woman of mine
Well, I blew out the engine down in Abilene
And I got on a school bus, I started revvin' that thing
Yeah you know that I'm loaded, yeah I'm out of my mind
I got to make it to Texas to see that woman of mine
Put whiskey in the gas tank, put blood on the wheel
I got a chaw of tobacco and I'm down with the deal
Well, I know that I'm loaded and I'm out of my mind
I got to make it to Texas to see that woman of mine
Now my face is all bloodshot and there's a stain on my shirt
If I don't make it to Fort Worth, someone's bound to get hurt
Yeah, no no I'm loaded and I'm out of my mind
I got to make it to Texas to see that woman of mine
Well, I blew out the engine down in Abilene
And I got on a school bus, I started revvin' that thing
Yeah you know that I'm loaded, yeah I'm out of my mind
I got to make it to Texas to see that woman of mine
The Song:
"To See That Woman Of Mine" is most notable for being on Beck's very first official release, though it usually gets overshadowed by the other song on there, "MTV Makes We Wanna Smoke Crack." Both recordings sound like they were recorded at the same time, Beck disguising his youthful voice by singing in a raw grizzly timbre. It suits the song though, which is full of lines about being loaded and tough and road weary.
