This was a new one to me. MORE TRAINS THAN BRAINS IN TEXAS (Music ~ Peter Hodgson, Words ~ Terry Wiens) There's more hicks than sticks in Idaho; they're in an awful state There's more ass than gas in Kansas; they just don't seem to wait More shit-kickers in New Mexico than lust in dusty Utah Why, they'll hang around the Texaco trying to get their boots off What have we done to the cowboy to make him feel this way? Well, we took away his west, now there's no room for him today We fed 'em all those lonesome songs until it became infectious Aw, things turned out all wrong, now there's more trains than brains in Texas |
