lyrics

DADDY’S GONE TO TEXAS

Everything is kind of weird since the clowns and ponies disappeared
Nobody heard them say goodbye and no one saw them go
Everybody’s crying, Lord, it sounds like someone’s dying
So Daddy’s gone to Texas just to find the rodeo

There’s magic in that rope he swings, he made it out of dragon’s wings
A love as rare as angel’s eggs or Alabama snow
He saddled up and gone to ride beyond the land where heroes died
Daddy’s gone to Texas just to see the Alamo

Don’t you worry little sister, you’ll be safe from that old twister
Out there with a posse, you’ll be searching high and low
The clowns and ponies might be there, prancin in that prairie air
Daddy’s gone to Texas just to chase the buffalo

How could Daddy be so dumb – it’s right here in this book
The buffalo ran away, why’d he have to go and look?

Truth gets tangled up in dreams, like shiny rocks and mountain streams
And Daddy’s gotta do the things that Daddy’s gotta do
Here’s a song so full of smiles you can hear it two whole thousand miles
Daddy’s gone to Texas but his heart’s still here with you
Daddy’s gone to Texas but his heart’s still here with you
