you've got to stop trying to go to texas
a state that big and dry
is not meant for our kind
we'd have to stay inside

stop trying to be like texas
it's wild and it's loud
scraping knuckles on a cloud
the birds have learned to frown

(stop trying to go to texas)
please change your mind
(stop trying to go to texas)
waste my time
(stop trying to go to texas)
stop trying to go to texas

you've got to stop trying to go to texas
there's cactus everywhere
the alamo is there
you'd never stand a chance

(stop trying to go to texas)
please change your mind
(stop trying to go to texas)
waste my time
(stop trying to go to texas)
stop trying to go to texas
