Planet Texas Lyrics

I left Planet Texas in a beat-up pickup truck

I had heard all about the great U.S. of A

I made it to Tennessee; I took off my hat, but it was taken from me

So I haven't shed my boots since that day

Well, that pickup truck broke down outside Nashville,

So through the land of Opry I did stride

With no way to get home, I knew I'd never see that Dome again

Just then, a mule named Garth offered me a ride

When I can't sleep, I count jumpin' armadillos

When I can't think, I make myself a big bowl of chili

When dancin' is what I need, a dose of Carrasco is guaranteed to please

And when I need to cry, I fire up some Willie

On lonely nights, my mind slips back to Waco

That's where I last saw my pretty señorita

She ran off with a balladeer named Marty, or so I hear

To her memory, I raise my margarita
