"Texas Wild Side" lyrics

"Texas Wild Side"
(feat. The Last Bandoleros)

Hey there Tammy, are you dancing uptown
Working at the Carousel where it's all going down
The police and gangsters drinking together at midnight
Waiting for a glimpse of heaven when the light is right

Take a walk on the Texas wild side of life
Take a walk on the Texas wild side of life

Texas politicians are loco and mostly on the take
Selling old pipe dreams and talking like snakes
Now Jerry Jeff and Billy Joe was wild as they come
But they always told the truth no matter what they done
Take a walk on the Texas wild side of life
Take a walk on the Texas wild side of life

The Beatles learned cross harp due to a boy from old cow town
And a thing started in Austin after Willie's Nashville house burned down
Outlaw country music blew up and went around the world
Along with psychedelic mushrooms and braless hippie girls

Take a walk on the Texas wild side of life
Take a walk on the Texas wild side of life
