Texas Love Song -The more things change . . .

[mikeiddy]

Enjoy this tidbit from memory lane
This seems like it could have been written yesterday:


I heard from a friend you'd been messing around with a cute little thing I'd been dating uptown
Well I don't know if I like that idea much
Well you'd better stay clear I might start acting rough

You out of town guys sure think you're real keen Think all of us boys are homespun and green
But that's wrong my friend so get this through your head
We're tough and we're Texan with necks good and red

So it's Ki yi yippie yi yi You long hairs are sure gonna die
Our American home was clean till you came
And kids still respected the president's name

And the eagle still flew in the sky Hearts filled with national pride
Then you came along with your drug-crazy songs Goddamit you're all gonna die

How dare you sit there and drink all our beer Oh it's made for us workers who sweat spit and swear
The minds of our daughters are poisoned by you
With your communistic politics and them negro blues

Well I'm gonna quit talking and take action now Run all of you fairies clean out of this town
Oh I'm dog tired of watching you mess up our lives
Spending the summertime naturally high

Texas Love Song - Elton John (1973)
