I Wasn’t Born In Texas

(Click here to watch the video.)

I wasn’t born in Texas, but I sure wish I was

I wasn’t born in Texas, but Lord I wish I was

I’m saving all my money, ‘cause in Texas I trust

 

I haven’t been to the rodeo, but I’ve been down in the dust

I haven’t been to the rodeo, I’ve been thrown down in the dust

Haven’t been to the county fair, seen the lights or heard the fuss

 

They’ve got debutants in Dallas, and Houston’s got the glow

They’ve got debutants in Dallas, and Houston’s got the glow

Austin’s got my music, that’s where I’m gonna go

I’m Not Crazy (I’m Just Slightly Ahead of My Time)

(Revised Lyrics) (Click here to watch the video.)

Now some people say the songs I sing are unique, that’s to say the least

And some people try to avoid me, when I go west, well they go east

But I’m not lonely; I guess I’ll find a friend in time

And I’m not crazy; I’m just slightly ahead of my time

 

Now, I’m not really paranoid, but I’ve lived most of my life in fear

I’m not schizophrenic, but I’m the two people I hold most dear

I’m not undecided; let me make that perfectly clear

It’s just that with no one running, I didn’t want to vote last year

Ch.

I’m not crazy; I’m just slightly ahead of my time

I’m not crazy, what’s it take to change your mind

I’m not lonely; I know I’ll find a friend in time

Like DaVinci, Van Gough and Bonaparte, I’m just slightly ahead of my time

 

I don’t eat meat every day, but I eat it most every night

I’m not afraid of the dark you know, but I am afraid of the light

Animals don’t turn me on, but some machines are alright

As far as snakes and frogs and things, well, just keep them out of sight

Ch.

Tea Toast and Marmalade

 

My baby likes the finer things

Me, I don’t care as long as it’s got strings

Her scent is lavender, her color is blue

I can’t smell a thing, can’t see color or hue

Chorus          

I like a 2 crust sandwich

Black coffee if it’s made

She likes her tea, toast and marmalade

My baby likes her car shiny and clean

I like a fast car, dirty and mean

Her sauce is creamy, she says tastes like heaven

My sauce is red, it’s Heinz 57

Chorus

She likes her curtains with patterns and lace

I leave car parts and clothes all through the place

She likes her world and oceans so clean

My bags are plastic, I burn gasoline

Chorus

 

 

         MOMENTS OF JOY                                  

 

Sometimes it’s hard, to find joy in this world

It can be so hard, to find joy in this world

Keep on searching, again and again

Moments of joy are paid in pain

 

Sometimes you find a new drug, so you can get so high

Sometimes you find a new drug, just to get so high

Keep on trying, again and again

Moments of joy are paid in pain

 

It can feel so fine if someone will just hold your hand

It can feel so fine if someone will just hold your hand

You keep on searching, again and again

Moments of joy are paid in pain

Some Times I Feel Like A Woman

Some times, I feel like a woman

Some times, I feel like a woman

Every time I do

You know the woman is you

Some times, I feel sad and lonely

Some times, I feel sad and lonely

Every time I do

The woman I miss is you

Some times, I feel like some lovin’

Some times, I feel like some lovin’

Every time I do

You know the woman I love is you

OUT OF CONTROL

Riding down the highway

100 miles an hour

Oooo go a little bit faster

This souped up Chevy

Gonna take me to the Levy

Ain’t nobody gonna pass her

Oohh I’m out of control

It’s like driving that Rock and Roll

This Detroit Demon

Got me highway screamin’

Don’t care if I come back alive

Driving down the road

Put the world on hold

Shove on into overdrive

Oohh I’m out of control

It’s like driving that Rock and roll
