Texas Time In A Texas Town
Born out on Highway 9 down in Corpus
Saw a mermaid in the gulf or maybe a porpoise
What a time at South Padre during Spring break
In Amarillo one time I tried to eat a giant steak
And I'm drunk in Del Rio again
Drank beer, long neck bottles of Lone Star
Just sittin' on a stool at Mickey Gilley's Bar
I fell in love with a country gal from Abilene
d*mn, she had the nicest legs I'd ever seen
And I'm drunk in Del Rio again
Fifty yard line seats to watch America's team
Roger, Troy, Emmett, Deon, Bullet Bob, what a dream
Spent my whole pay check at a house in La Grange
Partner, lets just say, it aint home on the range
And I'm drunk in Del Rio again
And I'm drunk in Del Rio again
