I’m leaving Texas
\nAnd the more that I’ve been thinking
\nI have to come right out and say
\nI ain’t too sad.<\/p>\n

I’m leaving Texas
\nAnd my heart it is not sinkin’
\nNo, it pitter-pats away
\nCause it’s so glad.<\/p>\n

Goodbye to good old boys
\nSucking on their long-neck beers
\nBellies hanging out like sleeping
\nhogs.<\/p>\n

Goodbye to listening to them
\nSing about their mommas
\nWhile they treat their wives and sweethearts
\nJust like dogs.<\/p>\n

It’s hell this Texas
\nYeah it’s dusty and it’s barren
\nIt’s got a lot of chiggers, ticks, and gnats<\/p>\n

Farewell to Texas
\nAnd to women with big hair
\nAnd all those men in high-heel boots
\nAnd stupid hats!<\/p>\n

Goodbye to bowls of chili
\nNever really liked it much
\nGot to say it always gave me
\ngas.<\/p>\n

Goodbye to rodeos
\nAnd watching big old cowboys
\nWrestle steers until they both fall on their
\n…<\/p>\n

We’re going far here
\nAnd I hope nobody sees us.
\nYou got a car here
\nBetter honk if you love Jesus!<\/p>\n

So to winter floods, summer heat
\nRifles on the pickup seat
\nMoonpies, country frogs
\nAdios, to all y’all<\/td>\n

    <\/td>\nBankity, bank, etc.<\/p>\n

Goodbye Houston
\nGoodbye Dallas
\nGoodbye Waco, Austin, Alice
\nRising Star, Sansa Bean
\nPecos, Putnam, Aboline
\nArt, Grit, Coffee City
\nSpade, Wink, Loop, Twitty
\nAngleton, Arcola
\nBigfoot, Tuscola
\nBuffalo Gap, Odessa, Merkel
\nNoodle, Raisin, Toyah, Turkel
\nWichita Falls and Tye
\nCorpus Christi
\nBye Bye!<\/p>\n

Goodbye to good old boys
\nSucking on their long-neck beers
\nBellies hanging out like sleeping
\nhogs.<\/p>\n

Goodbye to listening to them
\nSing about their mommas
\nWhile they treat their wives and sweethearts
\nJust like dogs.<\/p>\n

I’m leaving Texas
\nAnd though I may say I hate to
\nI’m leaving Texas
\nAnd the truth is I can’t wait to<\/p>\n

So, to rattlesnakes, horny toads
\nOld dead skunks on country roads
\nHoney fights, coffee hogs
\nCentipedes and pit bull dogs
\nNow ‘fore someone hears this song and decks us
\nI’m leaving Angus, Anzy, Navasota, Nickle Creek, and Klute
\nTurkey, Tyler, Abernathy, Oklahoma: Shoot
\nSnuffing Green, Tom Bean: Giving you the boot!<\/p>\n

Bankity bank etc.<\/p>\n
