GOIN' DOWN TO TEXAS
(Silverstein)
Shel Silverstein - 1979 


How did I hurt that woman?
She never done me wrong
I run away and left her for
A redhead Amazon.
I got no brains, I got no sense.
I never had no class.
So I'm goin' down to Texas
And be one more horse's ass.

CHORUS:
I'm goin' down to Texas
And be one more horse's ass.
I used to be a stallion
But that's all in the past.
So can't they settle on my nose
And point me towards the grass...
'Cause I'm goin' down to Texas
And be one more horse's ass!

I can't run in the hot sun.
I won't run in the mud.
I'm over-aged for racin'
And I'm overweight for stud.
But I can drink and I can fight
A soul of whiskey glass.
I'm goin' down to Texas
And be one more horse's ass!

CHORUS
