Harriette - Goodbye Texas lyrics

If I left Texas
Would your lone star stated blue
Bonnets even look my way?
And if I don't vote Republican
Can I still come home again around Christmas?

Your big red arms held me
For so long it would seem
I'm in need of a blue state

And you know I'll always call you home
But, I don't know if I'll call home
When you don't wanna call me anything
And breakin' up with Texas didn't
Seem to be so reckless
But when you don't own a gun
It's a lot less fun so goodbye Texas

If I left Texas
Would that hot headed sunset ever
Come rest her sweet head down right here?
And when I don't think it's selfish
To try to change yourself then
Oh, Texas, we don't see eye to eye

You got wide open spaces, I know
But what was green now won't grow
I'm in need of a blue state

And you know I'll always call you home
But, I don't know if I'll call home
When you don't wanna call me anything
And breakin' up with Texas didn't
Seem to be so reckless
But when you don't own a gun
It's a lot less fun so goodbye Texas

I tell George and Tanya that I'm so sorry
But they hardly believe me again
I should've said this when I was thirteen
But, I swear that I said things back then
I'd bet you on your yellow roses
You'll be the first to notice when I'm wrong
So goodbye Texas

Goodbye Texas, goodbye Texas
Goodbye yellow roses so goodbye Texas
Goodbye Texas, goodbye Texas
Goodbye yellow roses so goodbye Texas
Goodbye Texas, goodbye Texas
Goodbye yellow roses
