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

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

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
