GOIN' BACK TO TEXAS
(Shel Silverstein)

Bobby Bare - 1979



 
Why did I hurt that woman, she never done me wrong
I ran away and left her for a redhead and a song
I got no brains, I got no sense, I never had no class
So I'm goin' back to Texas and be one more horse's ass

Yeah, I'm goin' back to Texas and be one more horse's ass
I used to be her stallion, but that's all in the past
So place the tail on my nose and point me toward the grass
'Cause I'm goin' back to Texas and be one more horse's ass

(Guitar Solo)

I can't run in the hot sun and I won't run in the mud
I'm overaged for racin' and I'm overweight for stud
But I can dance and I can fight and throw a whiskey glass
An' goin' back to Texas and be one more horse's ass

Yeah, I'm goin' back to Texas and be one more horse's ass
I used to be her stallion, but that's all in the past
So place the tail on my nose and point me toward the grass
'Cause I'm goin' back to Texas and be one more horse's ass

(Guitar Solo)

Yeah, I'm goin' back to Texas and be one more horse's ass
I used to be her stallion, oh, but that's all in the past
So place the tail on my nose and point me toward the grass
And I'm goin' back to Texas and be one more horse's ass
yeah baby

(Guitar Solo)

I'm goin' back to Texas and be one more horse's ass
