Lyrics

Gary P Nunn 1st verse
Well, when you're down on your luck, and you ain't got a buck, in
London you're a goner.
Even London
Bridge has fallen down, and moved to
Arizona, now
I know why.
And I'll substantiate the rumor that the
English sense of humor is drier than than the
Texas sand.
You can put up your dukes, and you can bet your boots that
I'm leavin' just as fast as
I can. Chorus
I wanna go home with the arma [Am] dillo
Good country music from
Ama rillo and
Abi lene The friendliest people and the prettiest women you've ever [G] seen. 2nd
Verse Well, it's cold over here, and
I swear I wish they'd turn the heat on.
And where in the world is that
English girl
I promised
I would meet on the third floor.
And of the whole damn lot, the only friend
I've got is a smoke and a cheap guitar.
My mind keeps roamin', my heart keeps longin' to be home in a
Texas bar.
Chorus 3rd
Verse Well,
I decided that
I'd get my cowboy hat and go down to
Marble Arch
Station. '
Cause when a
Texan fancies, he'll take his chances.
Chances will be taken, that's for sure.
And them Limey eyes, they were eyein' the prize that some people call manly footwear.
And they said you're from down
South, and when you open your mouth, you always seem to put your foot there.
Repeat chorus 'til the cows come home
