"You Can't Take The Hell Out Of Texas" lyrics

Son
On a highway somewhere deep in the heart of Texas
I was just about as lost as I could be
Driving around in circles, tryna find the border
But Texas was as far as I could see
Well I stopped and flagged me down a state policeman
I said my patience is a growin' mighty thin
Can you help me get the hell outa Texas
He just flashed me some old lone star kind of grin

He said you can't get the hell outa Texas
No matter how hard you may try
In Texas we raise hell just like it was truck
It started down at the alamo
Well it ain't ever gonna stop
Not as long as there's Houston and Austin
Amarillo, Lubbock, Dallas, and Fort Worth
You can't get the hell outa Texas
Cause it's the hell raising capital of the earth

Wait a minute

Think last night I fell in love with Texas
I called my dear sweet mama on the phone
I said I've seen the light, ain't life a joy
I'm a changed man, I'm a good ol' boy
Hey mama, I ain't ever comin' home

You can't get the hell outa Texas
No matter how hard you may try
In Texas we raise hell just like it was truck
It started down at the alamo
Well it ain't ever gonna stop
Not as long as there's Houston and Austin
Amarillo, Lubbock, Dallas, and Fort Worth
You can't get the hell outa Texas
Cause it's the hell raising capital of the earth

I damn sure told ya
