Lyrics to Texas Overture
Wild flowers and gravel pit towers
Pecan smoke two meat barbecue
Shotgun shack by the roadside...
Blacktop Texas is everything it will be
Loop road tornados, hand grown tomatoes
Post Office Lady, Flatonia Next Right
Two horses nodding at a leafless tree
Waiting in vain to be taken from the rain
The Black Sky crow is walking on the road
Walking on the road
Pine Forest Cablevision
Apartment Now Leasing
Pop-a-Top Beverage & Bait Barn
Fireworks - Buy One Get Five Free
Texas is the land of the free
Kreuz's is the king on the Lockhart rail line
A hall full of trestle tables
Fat soaked butcher paper
Beans sauerkraut soda pop beer
Rough paper hand towels in a roll on a stick sitting
Upright on every table in the joint
Water fountain bags of chips german 'tata salad
Jalapenos in a brown bowl
The fires in the pit have never been put out
An old Texas lady slicing beef brisket
faded floral print dress covered by an apron
Is that enough? she says
She knows
No, I say, more please
Butcher paper one knife no fork white bread
Vegetarians exit now please
Texas is the land of the free
No Teeth Barbecue, Rockdale, Texas
The man in the window watches crop dusters next door
If I lived in Hutto I'd nearly be home now,
Out among the farm roads,
Heading for the county line,
Looking for the water towers, bringing in the sheaves
Texas is the land of the free
Thelma's in Houston is closed on Sunday
The best catfish in all the state of Texas
The meat's pulled from the pit at the stroke of noon
The line grows long in a shack in an urban field
Sitting in the shadows of the chrome
Man in a big hat born into a black suit says,
Pass a menu if you would please
One slab of ribs, one pound any Meat
Whole chicken 1/2 chicken ham ribs links beef
Green beans pinto beans tata salad cole slaw
Okra dirty rice or yams
Two slices white bread sealed in a Ziploc
Peach sweet potato apple/lemon chocolate butter pie
Cheese peppers soda or tea
Texas is the land of the free
Salt Lick in Driftwood is no beer family style
3 meat platter bowl of beans slaw tata salad
Onions pickles two slices white bread Texas style
Order in order out order online
Order by mail fax toll free anytime
The waitress is a middle age ex-hippie chick
Who's found her a life in a hill country family schtick
Honey you will not leave eating only that much
Bottomless refills more meat more beans whole lotta slaw please
Texas is the land of the free.
