Uncertain Texas Songtext
von Guy Clark

The crickets are singin′ the bluegills been bitin'
And the fireflies are flashin′ with all of their might
And down on the river ol' Reagan went fishin'
And he′s layin′ for a big one on a full moon lit night

We get high on the lake, and then we float down the river
Get off on the back roads, get lost in the woods
Very deep in the heart of Uncertain Texas
I tried hard to leave there but never did good


Tomorrow we're havin′ the world's largest fish fry
Eat catfish and crappie till they come out our ears
Have it made in the shade of a sleepy pine thicket
Get covered up in chiggers and drink ten tubs of beer

We get high on the lake, and then we float down the river
Get off on the back roads, get lost in the woods
Very deep in the heart of Uncertain Texas
I tried hard to leave there but never did good

So give him his guitar and a long-legged girl
Moonlight in Texas and a six-pack of Pearl
