That's Not Very Texas Of You

(album: It All Happened In A Honky Tonk - 2013)

You're going forty five in a seventy
You know I tried to pass a time or two
Hey, that's why we got that shoulder
You gotta move that caddy over
That's not very Texas of you
You ordered up a cosmo in a honky tonk
You don't even know one George Strait tune
Never heard of amarillo and you hate armadillos
Well that's not very Texas of you

Maybe you're from some big ol' city
Where the air and the attitudes are gritty
You don't own wranglers, or a pair of cowboy boots
Well that's not very Texas of you

If you can't take the hot in jalepeno
You don't care that the bonnets here are blue
You won't get up in a saddle, help us drive those cattle
Well that's not very Texas of you

Maybe you're from some big ol' city
Where the air and the attitudes are gritty
You don't own wranglers, or a pair of cowboy boots
Well that's not very Texas of you

You could try to be a little more lonestar
Think a little bigger, not so small
Tip a stetson hat, and say yes ma'am
It'll sound better in a southern drawl y'all

Not everybody's born to be a cowboy
Believe me, I'm not trying to be rude
But before I let you go I just thought that you should know
That's why we got that shoulder
So move that caddy over
You never heard of amarillo
And you hate armadillos
You don't like the beans barbecue
Well that's not very Texas
Well that's not very Texas of you
