Blind In Texas

(album: Live... In The Raw - 1987)

An El Paso hellhole, I couldn't get much higher
White lightning moonshine, tastes like fire
I drank for free till I couldn't see
I fell on the floor, what I said is

I'm blind in Texas, the lone star is hot tonight
I'm blind in Texas, the cowboys have taken my eyes

I drank Dallas whiskey and lost my mind
Had high-balls in Houston, three for a dime
Everything starts to spin, loaded on gin
I fell out the door, what I said is

I'm blind in Texas, the lone star is hot tonight
I'm blind in Texas, the cowboys have taken my eyes

San Antonio and the West Texas town El Paso
Corpus Christi and Waco, the Yellow Rose is wild

Hey dude, let's party

Raisin hell in Austin just after sundown
When the hoose-gow police decided to come round they said
"Boy what's the matter with you, what you trying to do?"
I looked at the man and I said

I'm blind in Texas, the lone star is hot tonight
I'm blind in Texas, I'm blind
