July 5[edit]

Song to ID[edit]

This is driving me nuts. It's a country song, probably released in the late 70s or early 80s, with a male singer. I've tried Googling variations on bits of the lyrics with no success. The words (as I recall them) were something like this:

Stuck down here in Texas, a million miles from home
And it ain't ri-ight, I'm on my own
Saturday night, headed for a fight
At a bar in San Anton'.

Which seems like it ought to be enough - I've identified songs with a lot less - but maybe old country/western songs don't have the same footprint on the intertubes? It wouldn't surprise me if I've got the lines out of order or something, but I'm pretty sure of the words themselves and that oughta be enough. I heard it again and again on the radio as a youngster, so it's probably not too obscure, but I don't listen to country, so I'm completely lost as to who it might be. Any help?

There is this info Matt Deres though it looks like it might take awhile to find your song as you wade through all the "San Antonio Rose" mentions. Hopefully someone else will know the song you are looking for. MarnetteD|Talk 17:26, 5 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
