The Day I Went Down to Texas Lyrics & Tabs by Orange Juice
The Day I Went Down to Texas
guitar chords lyrics
If you should change your mind
Please leave the key beneath the mat
And as for me I'm stepping
Out with these walls to a land that enthralls
A land where a man can realize his dreams
I took my place in a fast moving queue
Walked up the gangplank and winked at the crew
And now I'm bound for pastures new
Texas, down in Texas
Now I'm reelin' in the drunken sun
I jumped on the back of a Cadillac
I said, I guess I'm a lucky son of a gun
You write occasionally in such a perfunctory style
Despite myself I always
Smile while remembering our glorious past
You write occasionally in such a perfunctory style
Despite myself I always
Smile while remembering our glorious past
I guess we both knew it was too good to last
I once wrote a song though the words didn't scan
You still insisted that you were a fan
But you were so much younger then
Texas, down in Texas
Now I'm reelin' in the drunken sun
I jumped on the back of a Cadillac
I said, I guess I'm a lucky son of a gun
Texas, down in Texas
Now I'm reelin' in the drunken sun
I jumped on the back of a Cadillac
I said, I guess I'm a lucky son of a gun
