Texas Lyrics

Sons of Bill - Texas
Guitar 1: Capo 3
Guitar 2: No capo
Intro:
Guitar 1: E A E A E A (Uno dos tres quatro!)
Guitar 2: G Cadd9 G Cadd9 G (Uno dos tres quatro!)
(For the verse and chorus, Guitar 2's chords are in parenthesis)
There's a lot of country songs about Texas or so I heard
Steve Earle, Guy Clark, I memorized every word
So I moved out there thinkin my life would be a country song
And much to my surprise I wasn't too far from wrong
Got my butt kicked in a bar outside of Abilene
Got nailed down in South Padre down by the ???
And I wasn't strange enough to fit in in Austin, I soon found out
That them U.T. girls don't know you when you're down and out
Chorus:
And I gotta get the hell outta Texas
Because Texas aint where this Virginia boy belongs
I aint no cowboy eatin fajitas
Dancin two-step with senoritas
I'm leavin on a jet plane, adios, San Antone
Verse 2:
There's a brand new F150 on every lane of 35
Some banker in Dallas sure as hell don't need a 4-wheel drive
And they call me a yankee 'cause I'm from Virginia, what the hell does that mean?
I suggest they take that one up with Robert E. Lee
(Chorus, Guitar 2 solos over verse)
Verse 3:
So I'm throwin out the Stetson and leavin on the next jet plane
I can't live in no state where everyone thinks they're the next John Wayne
Now I still sing all them songs by Guy Clark and Robert Earl Keen
But them Blue Ridge Hills is where I'm gonna be
(Chorus)
