Texas Wild Side Songtext
von Ray Wylie Hubbard

Hey there Tammy, are you dancing uptown?
Working at the Carousel where it′s all going down
The police and gangsters are drinking together at midnight
Waiting for a glimpse of heaven when the light is right

Take a walk on the Texas wild side of life
Take a walk on the Texas wild side of life


Texas politicians are loco and mostly on the take
Selling old pipe dreams and talking like snakes
Now Jerry Jeff and Billy Joe was wild as they come
But they always told the truth no matter what they done

Take a walk on the Texas wild side of life
Take a walk on the Texas wild side of life, oh

The Beatles learned cross harp from a boy from old cow town
And a thing started in Austin after Willie's Nashville house burned down
Outlaw country music blew up and went around the world
Along with psychedelic mushrooms and braless hippie girls


Take a walk on the Texas wild side of life (wild side of life)
Take a walk on the Texas wild side of life (wild side of life)
Take a walk on the Texas wild side of life (wild side of life)
Take a walk on the Texas wild side of life (wild side of life) oh
