Young The Giant - Texas Tea lyrics

rate me

I'm waiting for the sun to rise

So I can find my way back to Texas

But oh it's still dark outside

Cuz I can taste the fire on my lips

And so I say to lord I'm so tired of this mess

But this nation still burns at night

Our ribs the coal of progress

So hey, get away from here, old ghost

We don't like your kind, soldier

Defend this land and fight

The fields of corn they turn to dust

Said the cross-eyed boy from Pawnee

The old machines are laid to rest

New England stars, they're lovely

And so I say to him, boy, have you seen men in these parts

Hey hey yeah yeah

Black gold swims under the dirt

So hey, get away from here, old ghost

We don't like your kind, soldier

Defend this land and fight

Oh oh oh…

Hey Hey Yah Yah!...
