west texas holiday

september come to texas just one time every year

so we get our guns and our

pickup trucks

and a bunch of that lone star beer

well we head out for the

open plains

where the birds they all flow like wine

we hunt them up then we

shoot them down

man it makes me feel so fine

the manly sport is what i'm

talking about

so you can grab you a pouch of chew

if we get bored 'cause the

birds won't fly

we'll shoot the rabbits with my.22. i don't wanna go to paris

i get enough french will my fries

just send me on down to abilene

for the huntingman's paradise

honey you can stay at home all day

laugh and dance go out shopping and play

'cause i'll be out with the boys

on a west texas holiday. hunting is a lot like religion or so it is i'm told

they're both just a simple

little way of life

and they're both good for your soul

from robert earl keen

to robert e. lee

perfect strangers or best of friends

we all have a common

little bond between us we were born to be huntin' men

if it flies it dies or

so they say

and so often times it's true

yeah but you take yours and i'll

take mine

and we'll have us a bar-b-que. i don't wanna go to paris

i get enough french will my fries

just send me on down to abilene

for the huntingman's paradise

honey you can stay at home all day

laugh and dance go out shopping and play

'cause i'll be out with the boys

on a west texas holiday.
