Lyrics
Gary p. nunn
When you're down on your luck and you ain't got a buck In london, you're a goner Even london bridge has fallen down And moved to arizona. (now I know why)
Well I'll substantiate the rumor that the english sense of humor Is drier than the texas sands Well you can put up your dukes or you can bet your boots But i'm be just as fast as I can
Chorus: I wanna go home with the armadillos Good country music from amarillo and abilene The prettiest women and the friendliest people you've ever seen
Well its cold over here and I swear I wish they would turn the heat on And where in the world is that english girl I promised I would meet 'em (the third floor)
And of the whole darn lot the only friend i've got Is a smoke and a cheap guitar (sitar or whatever) Well my mind keeps longing and my heart keeps hoping I'd be home in a texas bar
Chorus
Well, I decided that i'd take my cowboy hat And go down to the marble arch station 'Cause when a texan fancies that he'll take his chances Chances will be taken, and that's for sure
And all those limey eyes they were eyeing these prizes Some people call manly footwear They said you're from down south and when you open your mouth You always seem to put your foot there
Chorus. chorus
