1st verse

Well, when you're down on your luck,

and you ain't got a buck,

in London you're a goner.

Even London Bridge has fallen down,

and moved to Arizona,

now I know why.

And I'll substantiate the rumor that the English sense of humor

is drier than than the Texas sand.

You can put up your dukes, and you can bet your boots

that I'm leavin' just as fast as I can.

Chorus

I wanna gohome with thearma [Am] dillo

Good countrymusic from Amarillo and Abilene

The friendliestpeople and the prettiestwomen you've ever [G]

seen.

2nd Verse

Well, it's cold over here, and I swear

Iwish they'd turn the heat on.

And where in the world is that English girl

Ipromised I would meet on the thirdfloor.

And of the whole damn lot, the only friend I've got

is asmoke and a cheap guitar.

My mind keeps roamin', my heart keeps longin'

to behome in a Texas bar.

Chorus

3rd Verse

Well, I decided that I'd get my cowboy hat

andgo down to Marble Art Station.

'Cause when a Texan fancies, he'll take his chances.

Chances will be taken, that's forsure.

And them Limey eyes, they were eyein' the prize

that somepeople call manly footwear.

And they said you're from down South,

and when you open your mouth,

youalways seem to put your foot there.

Repeat chorus 'til the cows come home.
