God Bless Texas

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 Where the only real trace of a brown or black face is in a bird's nest Where bears are for shootin', the world's fit for lootin' on protest And for every time saw idling by the bank There's a gas pipe facing me and a sewage tank For every Rio Grande rolling south There's another Thames a forthin' off at the mouth So when saw and saucepans fallin' from the trees Maple syrup's weighing down the bees Tabasco bleeds from every hand squeezed Let the Lone Stars State get down on hands and knees Gold Old Texas, set doin' nothin' while the world's up coughing asbestos Just a colt 45 and a Jim Bowie knife to protect us God Bless Texas, ask any people would if the Mississippi flood will affect us Now that old Jim Crow not usually joing the Lexus And when vinegar lines the river banks of rust Salt and pepper line your lousy dust Sugar lines your inside to a crust And your livin' life in peace but only just So when saw and saucepans fallin' from the trees Maple syrup's weighing down the bees Tabasco bleeds from every hand squeezed Let the Lone Stars State get down on hands and knees And as the burger man drives the buffalo from the plain The cowboy feels so stuffed that he doesn't complain Peanut butter's coursin' through his veins And chilli stings his skin every time it rains And it's brown sauce seepin' from the bowel Mayonnaise comes leakin' from the cow Mustard from a nipple of the sow And they're singin' God Bless Texas but God knows how And they're singin' God Bless Texas God knows how They're singin' God Bless Texas God knows how They're singin' God Bless Texas God knows how They're singin' God Bless Texas God knows how And they're singin' God Bless Texas God knows how Singin' God Bless Texas God knows how x 5
