West Texas Is the Best Texas (feat. John Baumann, Josh Abbott Band, Flatland Cavalry & William Clark Green) - The Panhandlers

September come to Texas just one time every year, so we get our guns and our Pickup trucks, and a bunch of that Lone Star beer, well we head out for the Open plains, where the birds they all flow like wine, we hunt them up then we Shoot them down, man it makes me feel so fine, The manly sport is what I'm Talking about, so you can grab you a pouch of chew, If we get bored 'cause the Birds won't fly, we'll shoot the rabbits with my .22. I don't wanna go to Paris, I get enough French will my fries, Just send me on down to Abilene, for the huntingman's paradise, Honey you can stay at home all day, laugh and dance go out shopping and play, 'Cause I'll be out with the boys, on a West Texas Holiday. Hunting is a lot like religion or so it is I'm told, they're both just a simple Little way of life, and they're both good for your soul, from Robert Earl Keen To Robert E. Lee, perfect strangers or best of friends, we all have a common Little bond between us we were born to be huntin' men, If it flies it dies or So they say, and so often times it's true, yeah but you take yours and I'll Take mine, and we'll have us a Bar-B-Que.

I can't count the cities and towns that I've left behind Me I'm still drifting, running on rodeo time Tonight a steel guitar's playing And I'm alone at a table for two Chasing 8 second glory I've sure come a long way for you I'm West Texas lonely Tennessee whiskey blue Lost between Lynchburg And a three-quarter El Paso moon Without you to hold me I'm still torn half in two I'm West Texas lonely And Tennessee whiskey blue Well a week from tonight I'll see Amarillo again And I can't help but wonder If you'll be there in the stands I guess you remember That spotlight gets dimmer each day Cause being a cowboy Always means riding away And I'm West Texas lonely And Tennessee whiskey blue Lost between Lynchburg And a three-quarter El Paso moon Without you to hold me I'm still torn half in two I'm West Texas lonely And Tennessee whiskey blue I'm West Texas lonely And Tennessee whiskey blue

No shade of green could describe the beauty trapped inside her eyes. Red lipstick from the blood of all them boys who failed and tried Held up for all to see With legs as long as she is free Made strong by walking out on any man Who couldn't let her be I just wish that I could remember your name My jaded heart will never be the same I wish that I could remember your name 'Cause I know you're more than just a pretty face You're a nineteen-year-old Cabernet Bittersweet to the taste Memory only gets better with age And you outta see her singin' songs From the cooler she's been standin' on She might as well be the main stage Singin' all the words to Long Hot Summer Day And I can't look away And I wish that I could remember your name My jaded heart will never be the same I wish that I could remember your name 'Cause I know you're more than just a pretty face I just wish that I could remember your name My jaded heart will never be the same I wish that I could remember your name 'Cause I know you're more than just a And I wish that I could remember your name My jaded heart will never be the same I wish that I could remember your name 'Cause I know you're more than just a pretty face No shade of green could describe the beauty trapped inside her eyes Red lipstick from the blood of all them boys who failed and tried.

Well, it's late tonight And I see the look in your eyes They lighten you up like a burning fire full of desire And I touch your face And you move with grace And our lips collide in a burning ride with a warm embrace 'Cause I wanna taste your skin And I wanna be let in I wanna hold you and feel you Like you've never been And I wanna touch you there I wanna kiss you here And maybe, by the sunrise, we'll both come to our senses Well, I close my eyes But I open my heart As the heat of the moment slowly tears our clothes apart And we begin to move And I slowly surrender to the beauty and seduction That embodies you 'Cause I wanna taste your skin And I wanna be let in I wanna hold you and feel you Like you've never been And I wanna touch you there I wanna kiss you here And maybe, by the sunrise, we'll both come to our senses 'Cause I wanna taste your skin And I wanna be let in I wanna hold you and feel you Like you've never been And I wanna touch you there I wanna kiss you here And maybe, by the sunrise, we'll both come,oh to our senses Oh, baby I said maybe, by the sunrise, we'll both come to our senses

If I had amnesia I wouldn't know how much I need ya And I wouldn't have to see ya every night When I turn out the lights and close my eyes Wouldn't have to forget you Or even know I'd ever met you I wouldn't have to regret you Or let you wreck me one more time What I don't know wouldn't hurt me If I could lose my memory I think maybe I'd be fine If I just lost my mind I wouldn't have to replace you I could just erase you And I wouldn't have to know how much I need ya If I had amnesia Something stronger than tequila A little pill that would lead you right outta my head And get me numb instead If I went a little crazy The movie got a little hazy I wouldn't want you save me Or maybe you can play me one more time What I don't know wouldn't hurt me If I could lose my memory I think maybe I'd be fine If I just lost my mind I wouldn't have to replace you I could just erase you And I wouldn't have to know how much I need ya And if I woke up tomorrow Wasn't thinking about yesterday And you were just a stranger It wouldn't kill me to watch you walk away And what I don't know wouldn't hurt me If I could lose my memory I think maybe I'd be fine If I just lost my mind I wouldn't have to replace you I could just erase you And I wouldn't have to know how much I need ya If I had amnesia If I had amnesia
