lyrics
Big As Texas - Stephen Rey and The Slicks
I'm not dead I'm not done
I wouldn't change my life for anyone
I got bills, some red
I need a little help just to get ahead
I'm full of misdemeanors and a felony
I got more speeding tickets than you got teeth
I'm not complaining baby no I ain't
I wouldn't change my life for anything
I got friends as big as Texas
And they got hearts as big as Texas
I got good friends as big as Texas
And they got hearts as big as Texas
I sold my old truck who never let me down
A '58 chevy shaved and slammed to the ground
I'm broke
I missed the days when your money would last
Now my pockets always empty
Till the next pay check
I got friends as big as Texas
and they got hearts as big as Texas
I got good friends as big as Texas
and they got hearts as big as Texas
I lost all my money at the racetrack
I picked the slow horse with the shortest neck
I need a drink to feel alright
Let's dance dance dance all night
I got friends as big as Texas
And they got hearts as big as Texas
I got good friends as big as Texas
And they got hearts as big as Texas
