Elton John
"Texan Love Song" lyrics

Texan Love Song

I heard from a friend
You'd been messing around
With a cute little thing
I'd been dating uptown

Well, I don't know if
I like that idea much
Well, you'd better stay clear
I might start acting rough

You, out of town guys, sure
Think you're real keen
Think all of us boys here are
Homespun and green

But that's wrong, my friend
So get this through your head
We're tough and we're Texan
With necks good and red

So it's ki yi yippie yi yi
You, long hairs, are sure gonna die
Our American home was clean
Till you came
And kids still respected the president's name

And the eagle still flew in the sky
Hearts filled with national pride
Then you came along
With your drug-crazy songs
Goddammit, you're all gonna die

How dare you sit there
And drink all our beer?
Oh, it's made for us workers
Who sweat, spit and swear

The minds of our daughters
Are poisoned by you
With your communistic politics
And them negro blues

Well, I'm gonna quit talking
And take action now
Run all of you fairies
Clean out of this town

Oh, I'm dog tired of watching you
Mess up our lives
Spending the summertime
Naturally high

And it's ki yi yippie yi yi
You, long hairs, are sure gonna die
Our American home was clean
Till you came
And kids still respected the president's name

And the eagle still flew in the sky
Hearts filled with national pride
Then you came along
With your drug-crazy songs
Goddammit, you're all gonna die
Goddammit, you're all gonna die

Oh, Lord
Goddammit, you're all gonna die
Listen now
