Everything's Big In Texas
Everything's Big In Texas
I'd like to saddle up my horse...
Lope on down to Texas.
Pack my Peacemaker, (Colt of course)...
Oh! My solar plexus!
I'm told that everything down there
Is ALL, so much bigger...
Buildings, barns, boots, buckles, the Air...
And their whiskey jigger!
I flew to Fort Worth/Dallas once
Walked on 'the grassy knoll'...
Saw oil rigs making quite a bunce...
And armadillos roll!
Grasshoppers grow big down there,too.
Yup! I'm here to tell ya.
They're as big as a kangaroo...
Just like in Australia.
My trusty stud is all tacked up.
My mare's packed with extras.
With sunshine and a little luck
I'll see what's big in Texas!
