Well here they are; the long awaited to the classic: The Open Bottle Law Son by Ron Turner and Jay Silverman.

THE OPEN BOTTLE LAW SONG
By Ron Turner and Jay Silverman

Well there ain't no open bottle law in Texas.
We can get drunk anywhere we please,
Like driving down the highway between Refugio and Rockport,
With a bottle of Jack Daniels between our knees, between our knees…

Well I use to be an old pot smokin' hippie,
But the price of Marijuana got me down,
Now you'll find me in my pick up drinking Lone Star from a Bottle,
Getting wasted as I'm roaring out of town, out of town….

Well, you talk about your Pennsylvania cutes, (cuties?)
And those California girls with their great tans,
Well you'll find me in South Texas where the sun is always shining,
With a bottle and a snuff "?" in my hand, in my hand…..

Even LBJ himself was quite a tipper, (tippler?)
He liked to drink while driving in his car,
His big gas guzzling caddy just a bouncing 'cross the cow pies,
Drinking Pearl Beer from a big ole Mason jar, ole Mason jar….

Well you talk about New England's grand traditions,
Well Texans beat 'em by a country mile.
We keep a beer between our legs to keep our balls from boilin' over,
That's why we're always drivin' with a smile, with a smile….

Cause there ain't no open bottle law in Texas.
Well we can get drunk any where we please,
Like drivin' down the highway between Refugio and Rockport,
With a bottle of Jack Daniels between our knees, between our knees….
