Life's Too Shot, Not To Live In Texas CD

So Long Texas, Hello Mexico

Recorded by Johnny Tex & The Texicans
Written by Rota Jones
Album - Life’s Too Short Not to Live in Texas

I was sittin' in traffic listenin' to the radio
George Strait was singin' "Seashores of Old Mexico"
It sounded so good I got an idear
I'm gonna go there since they're all over here
The Lone Star State should be renamed "TEXICO"

So long, Texas.. Hello, Mexico
I'm gonna swim the Rio Grande at El Paso
I'm leavin' tonight I ain't gonna pack
I'm only takin' the clothes on my back
So long Texas, Hello Mexico

I'll drive a rattletrap car with no liability,
I'll demand equal rights though I'm there illegally
I'll protest in the streets 'Til they finally grant 'em,
Sing English words to their National Anthem
HEY! El Presidente what's right for your people
Should be right for me

There's no controlling that tide
That keeps rolling across the line
. This old Texas cowboy feels like
My home state is no longer mine.

So long, Texas.. Hello, Mexico
I'm gonna swim the Rio Grande at El Paso
I'm leavin' tonight I ain't gonna pack
I'm only takin' the clothes on my back
So long Texas, Hello Mexico

(Fade) YEP! Turnabout's fair play
HECK! I already LOVE
The food AND TEQUILA!
I'm gonna fly that Lone Star flag
And Old Glory EVERY DAY
I'm gonna celebrate every Fourth of July

I'm gonna make them print them
Forms in English just for ME!
I'm gonna marry me a pretty senorita and
We're gonna have free medical care and
Free education for ALL our kids!
Heck! Playin' my ol' guitar's the only
OTHER skill I've GOT!

Hmm - I wonder if I'll see ol' George Strait over there
Hey, Gringo! You're swimming the wrong way, man!

Yeah, yeah! I know!

Hey, Amigo! Hey, Amigo! You got a SEESTER????
