I’m leaving Texas
And the more that I’ve been thinking
I have to come right out and say
I ain’t too sad.
I’m leaving Texas
And my heart it is not sinkin’
No, it pitter-pats away
Cause it’s so glad.
Goodbye to good old boys
Sucking on their long-neck beers
Bellies hanging out like sleeping
hogs.
Goodbye to listening to them
Sing about their mommas
While they treat their wives and sweethearts
Just like dogs.
It’s hell this Texas
Yeah it’s dusty and it’s barren
It’s got a lot of chiggers, ticks, and gnats
Farewell to Texas
And to women with big hair
And all those men in high-heel boots
And stupid hats!
Goodbye to bowls of chili
Never really liked it much
Got to say it always gave me
gas.
Goodbye to rodeos
And watching big old cowboys
Wrestle steers until they both fall on their
…
We’re going far here
And I hope nobody sees us.
You got a car here
Better honk if you love Jesus!
So to winter floods, summer heat
Rifles on the pickup seat
Moonpies, country frogs
Adios, to all y’all |
|
Bankity, bank, etc.
Goodbye Houston
Goodbye Dallas
Goodbye Waco, Austin, Alice
Rising Star, Sansa Bean
Pecos, Putnam, Aboline
Art, Grit, Coffee City
Spade, Wink, Loop, Twitty
Angleton, Arcola
Bigfoot, Tuscola
Buffalo Gap, Odessa, Merkel
Noodle, Raisin, Toyah, Turkel
Wichita Falls and Tye
Corpus Christi
Bye Bye!
Goodbye to good old boys
Sucking on their long-neck beers
Bellies hanging out like sleeping
hogs.
Goodbye to listening to them
Sing about their mommas
While they treat their wives and sweethearts
Just like dogs.
I’m leaving Texas
And though I may say I hate to
I’m leaving Texas
And the truth is I can’t wait to
So, to rattlesnakes, horny toads
Old dead skunks on country roads
Honey fights, coffee hogs
Centipedes and pit bull dogs
Now ‘fore someone hears this song and decks us
I’m leaving Angus, Anzy, Navasota, Nickle Creek, and Klute
Turkey, Tyler, Abernathy, Oklahoma: Shoot
Snuffing Green, Tom Bean: Giving you the boot!
Bankity bank etc.
I’m leaving Texas! |
