Texas by The String Cheese Incident Lyrics
Me and my friends went to Dixieland, drove a big RV
With a cabinet full of mushrooms
And a cooler full of beer
It was spring time in the mountains
When we headed out of town
The peaks were white, the sky was blue
And the sun was beatin' down
We were rollin' down the highway
Just havin' a little fun
You sure can drink a lot of beer
Underneath that Texas sun
So I pulled into a liquor store
And that's where the trouble all began
'cause I ran into their awning
And we had a run-in with The Man
(chorus)
Get me out of this smalltime Texas town
'cause I don't wanna be stuck in jail when the sun goes down
You can't bust me if you don't know what you found
I tried to talk to the girl inside
I even offered her some cash
But she wouldn't listen, she just called the cops
'cause her gutter had been smashed
And the next thing I knew when I walked outside
There were police all around
Askin' who was drivin' the vehicle, can I see your license
Whatcha doin' in our town
(chorus)
We were sittin' on the steps of the liquor store
Just tryin' not to look too scared
They were searchin' the RV and I was thinkin'
Sometimes life just isn't fair
Well, they opened up that cabinet
And they found our little stash
But they didn't know what it was and let us go
Minus eighty bucks in cash
(chorus)
(chorus 2)
Get me out of this smalltime Texas town
I'll be runnin' as soon as my feet hit the ground
You can't bust me 'cause you don't know what you found
With a cabinet full of mushrooms
And a cooler full of beer
It was spring time in the mountains
When we headed out of town
The peaks were white, the sky was blue
And the sun was beatin' down
We were rollin' down the highway
Just havin' a little fun
You sure can drink a lot of beer
Underneath that Texas sun
So I pulled into a liquor store
And that's where the trouble all began
'cause I ran into their awning
And we had a run-in with The Man
(chorus)
Get me out of this smalltime Texas town
'cause I don't wanna be stuck in jail when the sun goes down
You can't bust me if you don't know what you found
I tried to talk to the girl inside
I even offered her some cash
But she wouldn't listen, she just called the cops
'cause her gutter had been smashed
And the next thing I knew when I walked outside
