Paris, TX

People are floodin' in, it's getting a little out of hand

My home don't look much like my home

The old man never saw the day, The streets were filled with those LBJ..

Stetsons, without a drop of sweat in sight

He worked a drag line all over this state, I learned how to swim in those rivers he made

I shot my first gun on the Rio Grande, and smoked my first joint from Willie's strand

So, here we are where the clouds are as big as god

And everyone, wants to be a cowboy

And the cowboy, just wants to be alone

So get you a truck and some new shiny boots

But the end of the day we'll all know the truth Paris, Tx is just a movie to you

From Lubbock to Monahans to Blue Eyes Cryin', Rosie's Tamale House and Nolan Ryan

This whole place is mystifyin', still

No the old farm is an Airbnb, And the swimming holes are no longer free

But there ain't no place I'd rather be Than home

So, here were are where the clouds are as big as god

And everyone, wants to be a cowboy

And the cowboy, just wants to be alone

So get you a bandana and a nudie suit

But your true colors gonna shine on through Paris, Tx is just a movie to you

Can't say I Really blame you at all And I'm a little guilty of it too

But Paris, Tx Is just a movie to you
