Lyrics

J.W. and Topaz goin' south on 75
Just a man and his horse and the freedom to ride
The reins in his left hand, Old Glory in his right
J.W. and Topaz goin' south on 75
J.W.'s a blind man, Topaz is his eye
They're turnin' heads 'round town as they ride on by
J.W.'s a modern day Buffalo Soldier
With his trusty steed Topaz ridin' in the shoulder
J.W. and Topaz goin' south on 75
Just a man and his horse and the freedom to ride
The reins in his left hand, Old Glory in his right
J.W. and Topaz goin' south on 75
Well, it's a 10 day journey down from Bartlesville
Trekkin' on the highway to Lawton Fort Sill
They sleep on the roadside every night along the way
Then they're up with the sun for another 25-mile day
J.W. and Topaz goin' south on 75
Just a man and his horse and the freedom to ride
The reins in his left hand, Old Glory in his right
J.W. and Topaz goin' south on 75
He said, "Don't you drink and drive unless you wanna go to jail
But my girl, Topaz, knows the way home
So I get drunk at the bar then I saddle up and go"
J.W. and Topaz goin' south on 75
Just a man and his horse and the freedom to ride
The reins in his left hand, Old Glory in his right
J.W. and Topaz goin' south on 75
J.W. and Topaz goin' south on 75
