I have the lyrics; actually I have a cassette with the song on it. If I can't find the lyrics elsewhere I'll play and transpose the words this week end.

The song was written and recorded by a duo in Corpus Christi, Texas in the 1980's (?) who went by the name of Turner and Silverman. They were headliners for a few years at a place called Rusty's where the recording was made. Part of the song:

Oh there ain't no open bottle law in Texas.
You can get drunk any where you please.
Like driving down the highway between Refugio (Pronounced "Ra-Furio")
and Rockport with a bottle of Jack Daniels between your knees...

There is a rather long lead in to the song by Turner, Ken Turner I believe as the song was recorded live at Rusty's. The last I heard Jay Silverman was living in Baltimore and working at the Jewish Community Center there. I talked to him several years ago and he was planning a concert back in Texas. Turner moved to Santa Fe, N.M. There was a place called the Listenin' Post that featured open stage where a lot of us performed in the 80's. They were frequent performers there. They still have friends in Corpus Christi and I'll see if any of them have the lyrics written down; if not I'll post it. They wrote some great songs and I often wonder why they didn't hit it big. Oh well. And yes, shortly after the song was recorded there was an open bottle law passed in Texas.

More than you want to know perhaps, but they are a couple of my favorite duos and I couldn't resist a little history.
