From the recording Raining Hard in Texas

Lyrics

Raining Hard In Texas

It’s raining hard in Texas, Lightning fills the sky
I’m not sure I’ll make it to my plane in time to fly
The BBQ and wine stains are alive on my new shirt
I know we’ll make it one more night with no one getting hurt

A Mexican martini and crawfish etouffe
The music’s pretty loud, I can’t hear a word you say
I’m driving round, I’m lost again and I don’t have a clue
How to get off this damn highway, now what do I do?

Chorus

Open mic some cowboy sings quite a bit off key
More Tito’s handmade vodka and a beer for Bobby Z
We order up some pizza and watch the music play
Thinking we should pull the cord so he’d have no more to say

Chorus

I went up to Lake Travis and Todd Snider sang his song
While all the drunk people in the pool tried to sing along
If you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em, so I bought another drink
The Patron and Grand Marnier made it easier to think

Chorus

The Red Eyed Fly and Hilton, worlds apart you know
A black t-shirt and nose ring to dress up for the show
I’ll take the Continental Club and order another round
And not worry how I’m getting back to my hotel downtown

Chorus
