Tim Barry - Texas Cops lyrics
[Tim Barry - Texas Cops lyrics]
Those Texas Cops are mean, man
I’ll tell you how I know
Cause even riding clean
They’ll put you face down on the hood
Then they make you shuck and jive
Before they let you go
But, I do not miss home, no, not home
They got me shaking something fierce on ’59
North of Humble
Just trying to make Texarkana, man
To bed down on the floor
But what I know and they don’t know
Is something I know so well
I won’t back down from them and I never will
You can take me for everything and
I still wouldn’t ask for more
Your one good meal a day
Could last me about four
And I sleep well without conscience
Passing towns I’ve passed before
Singing, "I do not miss home, no, not home"
If I got one more train to ride, boy
I’d tell you where I’d go
Where railroad cops wore blinders and
All fences came with holes
And division points had cold beer flowing
By beaches of white sand
But that won’t happen and it never can
But it’s alright, yeah, it’s okay
A bad time is better than no time any day
It’s alright, yeah, it’s okay
A bad time is better than no time any day
You can take me for everything and
I still wouldn’t ask for more
Your one good meal a day
Could last me about four
And I sleep well without conscience
Passing towns I’ve passed before
Singing, "I do not miss home, no, not home"
I’ll tell you how I know
Cause even riding clean
They’ll put you face down on the hood
Then they make you shuck and jive
Before they let you go
But, I do not miss home, no, not home
They got me shaking something fierce on ’59
North of Humble
Just trying to make Texarkana, man
To bed down on the floor
But what I know and they don’t know
Is something I know so well
I won’t back down from them and I never will
You can take me for everything and
I still wouldn’t ask for more
Your one good meal a day
Could last me about four
And I sleep well without conscience
Passing towns I’ve passed before
Singing, "I do not miss home, no, not home"
If I got one more train to ride, boy
I’d tell you where I’d go
Where railroad cops wore blinders and
All fences came with holes
And division points had cold beer flowing
By beaches of white sand
But that won’t happen and it never can
But it’s alright, yeah, it’s okay
A bad time is better than no time any day
It’s alright, yeah, it’s okay
A bad time is better than no time any day
You can take me for everything and
I still wouldn’t ask for more
Your one good meal a day
Could last me about four
And I sleep well without conscience
Passing towns I’ve passed before
Singing, "I do not miss home, no, not home"
