Hello Kansas wheat field farmer, let me thank you for your time

[JavaCat]

You work a forty hour week for a livin’, just to send it on down the line.

If you're gonna play in Texas, you gotta have a fiddle in the band
That lead guitar is hot, but not for Louisiana man
So rosin up that bow for faded love and let's all dance
If you're gonna play in Texas, you gotta have a fiddle in the band

My dad's a wheat farmer.

You got a problem with that?

[JavaCat]

The only two things in life that make it worth livin'
Is guitars that tune good and firm feelin' women
I don't need my name in the marquis lights
I got my song and I got you with me tonight
Maybe it's time we got back to the basics of love

Let's go to Luckenbach, Texas with Waylon and Willie and the boys
This successful life we're livin' got us fueding like the Hatfields and McCoys
Between Hank Williams pain songs, Newberry's train songs and blue eyes cryin' in the rain
Out in Luckenbach, Texas ain't nobody feelin' no pain

[JavaCat]

Amarillo by morning, up from San Anton'
Everything that I've got is just what I've got on
When that sun is high in that Texas sky
I'll be bucking it to county fair
Amarillo by morning, Amarillo I'll be there

[JavaCat]

They call me the fireman
That's my name
Makin' my rounds all over town
Puttin' out old flames

Well everybody'd like to have what I've got
I can cool'em down while they're smolderin' hot
I'm the fireman
That's my name

WELL, A FRIEND OF MINE NAMED STEVE GOODMAN WROTE THAT SONG
AND HE TOLD ME IT WAS THE PERFECT COUNTRY & WESTERN SONG
I WROTE HIM BACK A LETTER AND I TOLD HIM IT WAS NOT THE PERFECT COUNTRY & WESTERN SONG BECAUSE HE HADN'T SAID ANYTHING AT ALL ABOUT MAMA,
OR TRAINS,
OR TRUCKS,
OR PRISON,
OR GETTING DRUNK
WELL HE SAT DOWN AND WROTE ANOTHER VERSE TO THE SONG
AND HE SENT IT TO ME,
AND AFTER READING IT,
I REALIZED THAT MY FRIEND HAD WRITTEN THE PERFECT
COUNTRY & WESTERN SONG
AND I FELT OBLIGED TO INCLUDE IT ON THIS ALBUM
THE LAST VERSE GOES LIKE THIS HERE:

WELL, I WAS DRUNK THE DAY MY MOM GOT OUT OF PRISON
AND I WENT TO PICK HER UP IN THE RAIN
BUT BEFORE I COULD GET TO THE STATION IN MY PICkuP TRUCK
SHE GOT RUN NED OVER BY A DAMNED OLD TRAIN
