"I'd be very cautious about using that phrase in Texas." Surely among us Mudcatters it's safe to speak the truth.

Thanks for the link to West, Texas - not to be confused with West Texas.

I thought the Panhandle was part of Oklahoma.

As for the song, it's hard to figure out what it's about, although you can't miss the hostility and the would-be cleverness of a guy who's had a little too much beer. I listened to Willis Alan Ramsey for a while. He even sings like he's drunk.

I just spent a week in Austin, at a workshop with Texans of all description, and they were quite decent people. Even the women.
