Long Tall Texan Lyrics
Lyle Lovett
Well Im a long tall texan
I wear a ten-gallon hat
(he rides from texas wearing a ten-gallon hat)
Yes Im a long tall texan
I wear a ten-gallon hat
(he rides from texas wearing a ten-gallon hat)
Well people look at me and they say
Is that your hat
(he rides from texas wearing a ten-gallon hat)
Well Im a long tall texan
I ride a big white horse
(he rides from texas on a big white horse)
Yes Im a long tall texan
I ride a big white horse
(he rides from texas on a big white horse)
Well people look at me and they say
Is that your horse
(he rides from texas on a big white horse)
Well I was walking down the street
With my shiny badge
My spurs jingling there at my feet
I seen a man acoming
Coming with a gun and
I just cant be beat
Yes Im a long tall texan
I enforce justice for the law
(he rides from texas to enforce the law)
Well Im a long tall texan
I enforce justice for the law
(he rides from texas to enforce the law)
Well people look at me and they say
Is you the law
(he rides from texas to enforce the law)
Well Im a long tall texan
Yes Im a long tall texan
