Kinky Friedman London Homesick Blues Lyrics

(gary p. nunn)

When you're down on your luck
And you ain't got a buck
In london, you're a goner
And london bridge
Has fallen down
And moved to arizona
Now I know why

We'll now substantiate the rumor
That the english sense of humor
Is drier than the texas sands.
You can put up your dukes
Go bet your boots
I'll be leavin' here as soon as I can.

I wanna go home with the armadillo
Country music from amarillo and abilene
The prettiest women and the friendliest people you ever seen.

Well, I decided that
I'd take my cowboy hat
And go down to the marble arch station 'cause when a texan fancies
To take his chances
Chances will be taken,
That's for sure.

And goes blind me eyes
For eying the prize
Some people call manly footwear
'cause when your thumb down south
When you open your mouth
You always seem to put your foot there.

I wanna go home with the armadillo
Country music from amarillo and abilene
The friendliest people and the prettiest women you ever seen.

I wanna go home with the armadillo
Country music from the lone star café and abilene
The prettiest women and the friendliest people I've ever seen.
