Max Stalling - Tadpoles & Eagles lyrics

rate me

Verse 1:

Oh, it's hot in Texas

About as hot as it can get

Mesquite trees and cactus

Are trying hard not to sweat

Over yonder's that old paisano

He's hunting him a bit of shade

But the tadpoles in the cow trough

Man, they sure got it made

Buried under that cool green moss

Down where the sun don't shine

Cool in the hottest weather

Man, they're cool all the time

Chorus 1:

Oh, I'd like to join them

Wonder if there is room

For a tired and sweaty old cowboy

Tadpoles make some room

Verse 2:

Oh, my burden's heavy

I carry such a mighty load

Up above soars an eagle

I wonder if he knows

What I'd give to trade with him

Go where he goes

I wonder if that old eagle knows

What I'd give to know the heights he knows

Chorus 2:

Oh, I'd like to join him

Wonder if there is room

For a tired and sweaty old cowboy

Eagle make some room

Verse 3:

Some day will come a blue norther

Big wind and lots of rain

I'd love to be like a grand blue norther

Blow away all my pain

I'd let it all out in one mighty big breath

Dump my tears on the plains

Yeah, I'd love to be like a grand blue norther

Blow away all my pain

Chorus 3:

Oh, I'd like to join him

I wonder if there is room

For a tired and sweaty old cowboy

Norther make some room
