"Texas" lyrics

Texas

Warm winds blowing
Heating blue sky
And a road that goes forever

Been thinking about it lately
Been watching some TV
Been looking all around me
At what has come to be

Been talking to my neighbour
And he agrees with me
It's all gone crazy

Well, my wife returns from taking
My little girl to school
She's got beads of perspiration
As she tries to keep her cool

She says that mess it don't get no better
There's gonna come a day
Someone's gonna get killed out there
And I turn to her and say
"Texas"
She says, "What?"
"I said Texas"
She says, "What?"
They've got big long road out there

Warm winds blowing
Heating blue sky
And a road
That goes forever
I'm going to Texas

We got to get out of here
We got to get out of here

Well, I got a little brother
Several meters high
Yeah, his built just like a quarterback
And he swears he'll testify

He says he's been to Texas
And that's the only place to be
Big stakes, big girls, no trouble here
That's the place for me

I'm going to Texas
Yeah, yeah
I'm going to Texas
Yeah, yeah
I'm going to Texas

Watch me walking
Watch me walking
Watch me walking
Yeah, yeah
