Bobby Bare - Goin Back to Texas Lyrics

(Shel Silverstein)

How did I hurt that woman she never done me wrong
I ran away and left her for a redhead Amazon
I got no brains I got no sense I never had no class
So I'm goin' down to Texas and be one more horse's ass.

Yeah, I'm goin' down to Texas and be one more horse's ass
I used to be your stallion but that's all in the past
So face the tail on my nose and point me towards the grass
'Cause I'm goin' down to Texas and be one more horse's ass.

- Instrumental -

I can't run in the hot sun and I won't run in the mud
I'm overaged for racin' and I'm overweight for stud
But I can dance and I can fight and throw a whiskey glass
I'm goin' down to Texas and be one more horse's ass.

Yeah, I'm goin' down to Texas and be one more horse's ass...
I used to be your stallion but that's all in the past
So face the tail on my nose and point me towards the grass
'Cause I'm goin' down to Texas and be one more horse's ass.

- Instrumental -

Yeah, I'm goin' down to Texas and be one more horse's ass
I used to be your stallion but that's all in the past
So face the tail on my nose and point me towards the grass
'Cause I'm goin' down to Texas and be one more horse's ass.

- Instrumental -

I'm goin' down to Texas and be one more horse's ass...
