TEXAS WATER

James Michael Taylor

It was a huge affair. Bigger than the Texas Jam.
But what would you expect from the first concert
staged on the moon?

TEXAS WATER

She’s got stretch marks on her psyche
Her attitude is hanging down
But she’s gonna pull it all together
Take it on into town
Too much Texas Water
Turned that Texas daughter’s teeth brown
When that Texas sun goes down
There ain’t anybody thinking very clearly in town
That’s where she’s going

She’s got three kids that can’t read yet
But she don’t let it get her down
She’s gonna dust ’em off at the sitter
Take it on into town…

She’s got an old red car that’s paid for
A battery that’s running down
She’s gonna jerk it off the charger
Take it on into town…

She works down at the Land Bank
Helps to keep the prices down
Makes just enough to buy those food stamps
And take it on into town…
