It’s 1200 Miles From Palm Springs to Texas Songtext
von Dean Martin

It′s 1200 miles from Palm Springs to Texas
But tonight, it's right next door

For a week each year, it′s the old frontier
That's what brings them here, western atmosphere
You can't tell the dudes from real riding cowboys
When they sashay across the floor

There′s the circus means, lots and lots of thrills
Folks from Houston, yeah, and from Beverly Hills
Clowning from the Shamrock right to the Almiera door

You′ll find it's 1200 miles from Palm Springs to Texas
But tonight, it′s right next door


Do you see that parade?
Do you all hear that parade?
Coming down Palm Canyon Drive
But if you see that parade
Come on and cheer that parade if you're eight or 85

Who′s that riding up ahead?
Why? "It's the governor of Texas," someone said
What′s he doing up this way?
Why? It's Palm Springs and Texas day

Ah, you can't tell the dudes from real riding cowboys
When they sashay across the floor
Folks are trading in all their Cadillacs
For those pinto ponies and cowhide slacks
And there′s no one left down at Neiman Marcus′ store

Because it's 1200 miles from Palm Spring to Texas
But tonight, it′s right next door
