"Screw You, We're From Texas" lyrics

"Screw You, We're From Texas"

I got on my cowboy boots, jeans and Hawaiian shirt, mirrored sunglasses and a mobile phone
I guess I look like some Port Aransas dope dealer that's out on bail just trying to get home
So I ain't in jail and I got a guitar, and a little band that's hotter than a rocket
Some times were sloppy, were always loud tonight were just ornery and locked in the pocket

So screw you were from Texas
So screw you were from Texas
So screw you were from Texas
Were from Texas baby, so screw you!

Now I love the USA and the other states they're OK
Texas is the place I wanna be and I don't care if I ever go to Delaware anyway
Cause we got Stubbs, Gruene Hall and Antones, John T's Country Store
We've got Willie and Jacky Jack, Robert Earl, Pat, Cory, Charlie and me and so many more

So screw you were from Texas
So screw you were from Texas
So screw you were from Texas
Were from Texas, so screw you!

Now Texas has gotten a bad reputation, cause of what happened in Dallas and Waco
Our corporations well they are corrupt and our politicians are swindlers and loco
But when it comes to music my friend, these words are the as true as St John the Revelators
Our Mr. Vaughn was the best there ever was and no band's cooler than the 13th Floor Elevators

So screw you were from Texas
So screw you were from Texas
So screw you were from Texas
Were from Texas, so screw you!
