Texas Wild Side
Album: Co-Starring Too
Hey there Tammy, are you dancing uptown
Working at the Carousel where it’s all going down
The police and gangsters drinking together at midnight
Waiting for a glimpse of heaven when the light is right
Take a walk on the Texas wild side of life
Take a walk on the Texas wild side of life
Texas politicians are loco and mostly on the take
Selling old pipe dreams and talking like snakes
Now Jerry Jeff and Billy Joe was wild as they come
But they always told the truth no matter what they done
Take a walk on the Texas wild side of life
Take a walk on the Texas wild side of life
The Beatles learned cross harp due to a boy from old cow town
And a thing started in Austin after Willie’s Nashville house burned down
Outlaw country music blew up and went around the world
Along with psychedelic mushrooms and braless hippie girls
Take a walk on the Texas wild side of life
Take a walk on the Texas wild side of life
