In Texas With A Band

>
I've traveled all over this whole wide world
Playing songs for smiling faces
From Idaho to old Oslo
And a thousand other places
I've rode on trains and airplane's
Ate steak and calamari
Shook the hands of diplomats
And played their fancy parties
Well I don't mean to gripe or brag
Sure, the highlife has been grand
But I trade my wage just to be on stage
In Texas with a band

We'd Roll in on a Friday night
Just under the wire
For a dancehall gig, back up the rig
And load in the amplifiers
Let's pick a few and check one two
The doors opеn at seven
Folks come in for two-stеppin'
The closest thing to heaven
If I only had one final wish
I'd make it my demand
To play once more to a sawdust floor
In Texas with a band

Take a tour through Texas
And you can find it all
If you close your eyes in Beaumont
It sounds just like Montreal
That stretch from Post to Marfa's
Like that German autobahn
And Austin's just like Hollywood
With a few more country songs
Where else can you hear steel guitar
Played with accordion
Then a Gulfcoast bar underneath the stars
In Texas with a band
