| Good old Texas
|
| Lazy old days in the Amarillo haze in my work vest
|
| Sat out on the porch
|
| Wonderin' which country to torch next
|
| God bless Texas
|
| Where the only real trace of a brown or black face is in a bird’s nest
|
| Where bears are for shooting and the world’s for polluting, not protest
|
| And for every Tom Sawyer idling by the bank
|
| There’s a gas pipe facing East and a sewage tank
|
| For every Rio Grande rolling South
|
| There’s another Thames or Nile frothing up at the mouth
|
| So when soy sauce comes falling from the trees
|
| Maple syrup’s weighing down the bees
|
| Tabasco bleeds from every hand you squeeze
|
| Let the Lone Star state get down on hands and knees
|
| Good old Texas
|
| Sat doin' nothin' while the world’s up coughin' asbestos
|
| Just a Colt .45 and a Jim Bowie knife to protect us
|
| God bless Texas
|
| Ask any peckerwood if the Mississippi flood’ll affect us
|
| Now that old Jim Crow is just an ordinary Joe in a Lexus
|
| And when vinegar lines the riverbank to rust
|
| Salt and pepper line your lungs to dust
|
| Sugar lines your inside to a crust
|
| And you’re living life in peace but only just
|
| So when soy sauce comes falling from the trees
|
| Maple syrup’s weighing down the bees
|
| Tabasco bleeds from every hand you squeeze
|
| Let the Lone Star state get down on hands and knees
|
| And as the burger van drives the buffalo from the plain
|
| The cowboy feels so stuffed that he doesn’t complain
|
| Peanut butter’s coursing through his veins
|
| And chilli stings his skin every time it rains
|
| And it’s brown sauce seeping from the bough
|
| Mayonnaise comes leaking from the cow
|
| Mustard from the nipple of the sow
|
| And they’re singing, «God bless Texas», but God knows how
|
| And they’re singing, «God bless Texas»; |
| God knows how
|
| They’re singing, «God bless Texas»; |
| God knows how
|
| They’re singing, «God bless Texas»; |
| God knows how
|
| They’re singing, «God bless Texas»; |
| God knows how
|
| (And they’re singing, «God bless Texas»; God knows how
|
| Singing, «God bless Texas»; |
| God knows how
|
| And they’re singing, «God bless Texas»; |
| God knows how
|
| Singing, «God bless Texas»; |
| God knows how)
|
| Singing, «God bless Texas», singing, «God bless Texas» (And they’re singing, «God bless Texas»; God knows how)
|
| But God knows how (Singing, «God bless Texas»; God knows how)
|
| Singing, «God bless Texas» (And they’re singing, «God bless Texas»;
|
| God knows how)
|
| But God knows how (Singing, «God bless Texas»; God knows how)
|
| Singing, «God bless Texas», singing, «God bless Texas» (And they’re singing, «God bless Texas»; God knows how)
|
| But God knows how (Singing, «God bless Texas»; God knows how) |
