I Wasn’t Born In Texas

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
