I got on my cowboy boots, jeans
And Hawaiian shirt, mirrored sunglasses
And a mobile phone
I guess I look like some Port Aransas
Dope dealer that's out on bail
Just trying to get home
Well I ain't in jail and I got a guitar,
Got a little band that's hotter than a rocket
Sometimes we're sloppy,
We're always loud, tonight we're just ornery
And locked in the pocket

So screw you, we're from Texas
So screw you, we're from Texas
So screw you, we're from Texas
We're from Texas baby, so screw you!

Now I love the USA
And the other states they're OK
Texas is the place I wanna be and
I don't care if I ever go to Delaware anyway
Cause we got Stubbs, Gruene Hall and Antone's, and John T's Country Store
We've got Willie and Jacky Jack, Robert Earl, Pat, Cory, Charlie and me
And so many more.

So screw you, we're from Texas
So screw you, we're from Texas
So screw you, we're from Texas
We're from Texas, so screw you!

Now Texas has gotten a bad reputation,
Cause of what happened in Dallas and Waco
Our corporations well they are corrupt
And our politicians are swindlers and loco
But when it comes to music my friend,
These words are as true as St. John the Revelator
Our Mr. Vaughan was the best there ever was And no band was cooler than
The 13th Floor Elevators.

So screw you, we're from Texas
So screw you, we're from Texas
So screw you, we're from Texas
We're from Texas, so screw you!
