Screw You, We're From Texas - Ray Wylie Hubbard

I got on my cowboy boots, jeans, and Hawaiian shirt

Mirrored sunglasses and a mobile phone

I guess I look like some Port Aransas dope dealer

Who’s out on bail, just tryin' to get home

Well I ain’t in jail and I got me a guitar

I got a little band that’s hotter than a rocket

And sometimes we’re sloppy, we’re always loud

Tonight we’re just ornery and locked in the pocket

So screw you, we’re from Texas

Screw you, we’re from Texas

Screw you, we’re from Texas

We’re from Texas, baby, screw you

Now I love the USA

And all the other states, yeah, they’re okay

But Texas is the place I wanna be

And I’ll prob’ly never get a gig in Delaware anyway

'Cause we got Stubbs, and Gruene Hall, and Antone’s

And John T. Floore’s Country Store

We got Willie, Ray Wylie, Rodney, and Joe Ely

Jack, Lyle, and Robert Earl

Hey, we got Bruce and Kelly, and Randy and Wade

Kristofferson and Kacy Musgraves

Hell, we got Sunny Sweeney and Flaco Jiménez

Leon Bridges, Erykah Badu, and Beyoncé

So screw you, we’re from Texas

Screw you, we’re from Texas

Screw you, we’re from Texas

We’re from Texas, screw you

All y’all sing -- screw you, we’re from Texas

Screw you, we’re from Texas

Screw you, we’re from Texas

We’re from Texas, screw you!

Now Texas has gotten a bad reputation

Because of what happened in Dallas and Waco

And our corporations, well, they are corrupt

And the politicians are swindlers and loco

But when it comes to music, my friend

I believe these words are as true as St. John the Revelator’s

Stevie Ray Vaughan was the best that there ever was

And no band was cooler than The 13th Floor Elevators

So screw you, we’re from Texas

Screw you, we’re from Texas

Screw you, we’re from Texas

We’re from Texas, screw you

Screw you, we’re from Texas

Screw you, we’re from Texas

Screw you, we’re from Texas

We’re from Texas, screw you

Screw you, we’re from Texas

Screw you, we’re from Texas

Screw you, we’re from Texas

We’re from Texas, screw you

We’re from Texas, screw you
