"Lookin' for Texas"
:[ lyrics ]:
Well he flew down to Houston Super Bowl XXXVIII
Thought hed check out Texas
See why its so great
Hed seen all the westerns on cable TV
And he wondered if thats how it would really be
Then he jumped into a cab and away he went
To see how a cowboys day is spent

As they drove into town he thought Big whup, wow!!
No tumbleweed, no cowboy, not even a cow
Theres nothing new here
Seen this all before
A whole lot of traffic and store after store
So he told cabbie Pull it over here
And he went into the bar to get himself a beer

Well the bartender worked for minimum wage
But he spoke with the wisdom that comes with age
Wheres the desert and mountains? the visitor asked
Hed seen it in the movies not very long past
Then the barkeep said Son as he drank his Dos Xs
Dont go to Houston if youre lookin for Texas

If youre lookin for Texas youre in the wrong place
Just another big city for the human race
The only horses here are under the hood
Farther west Id go if only I could
Then he told him again as he drank his Dos Xs
Dont go to Houston if youre lookin for Texas

Now dont get me wrong Houston needs no pity
Why, after all, its the fourth largest city
Like Chicago, Los Angeles, or even New York
It has professional teams for every sport
But Im telling you son as I drink my Dos Xs
Dont go to Houston if youre lookin for Texas

Go to New Braunfels, or Boerne, Luckenbach
Hell, even Magnolia!!
