Corruption in texas - I try and inform everywhere (Texas-size helping of live chow)

[Liberty Valance]

That's Right!
Thank you Lyle Lovett ;o)

You say you're not from Texas
Man as if I couldn't tell
You think you pull your boots on right
And wear your hat so well

So pardon me my laughter
'Cause I sure do understand
Even Moses got excited
When he saw the promised land

That's right you're not from Texas
That's right you're not from Texas
That's right you're not from Texas
But Texas wants you anyway

That's right you're not from Texas
That's right you're not from Texas
That's right you're not from Texas
But Texas wants you anyway

See I was born and raised in Texas
And it means so much to me
Though my girl comes from down in Georgia
We were up in Tennessee

And as we were driving down the highway
She asked me baby what's so great
How come you're always going on
About your Lone Star State

I said that's right you're not from Texas
That's right you're not from Texas
That's right you're not from Texas
But Texas wants you anyway

That's right you're not from Texas
That's right you're not from Texas
That's right you're not from Texas
But Texas wants you anyway

Oh the road it looked so lovely
As she stood there on the side
And she grew smaller in my mirror
As I watched her wave goodbye

Those boys from Carolina
They sure enough could sing
But when they came on down to Texas
We all showed them how to swing

Now David's on the radio
And old Champ's still on the guitar
And Uncle Walt he's home with Heidi
Hiding in her loving arms

That's right you're not from Texas
That's right you're not from Texas
That's right you're not from Texas
But Texas wants you anyway

That's right you're not from Texas
That's right you're not from Texas
That's right you're not from Texas
But Texas wants you anyway

They're OK in Oklahoma
Up in Arkansas they're fair
But those old folks in Missouri
They don't even know you're there

But at a dance hall down in Texas
That's the finest place to be
The women they all look beautiful
And their men will buy your beer for free

And they'll say that's right you're not from Texas
That's right you're not from Texas
That's right you're not from Texas
But Texas wants you anyway

That's right you're not from Texas
That's right you're not from Texas
That's right you're not from Texas
But Texas wants you anyway

So won't you let me help you Mister
Just pull your hat down the way I do
And buy your pants just a little longer
And next time somebody laughs at you

You just tell 'em you're not from Texas
That's right you're not from Texas
That's right you're not from Texas
But Texas wants you anyway

That's right you're not from Texas
That's right you're not from Texas
That's right you're not from Texas
But Texas wants you anyway

But I get to live in an area surrounded by wineries (which create a mighty stink in the fall, not to mention drunken tourists.).

ZOT!

[Chanticleer]

Zacs Mom made my boots. Aren't they cool?

[Maximus of Texas]

Charlie Dunn made mine.

Liberty,
Sounds like the only sightseeing this guy did was while he was handcuffed and riding in the back of a San Antonio patrol car.

SAPD: If you look off to the side you will see the Alamo, the birth place of Texas Liberty. Soon we'll pass by the Tower of the Americas....

California Citizen: (from the back seat) You know, if you look at the back of your head just right... it's real purty.

This is funny, because I know some people that have been to jail here, and aside from the whole 'jail' thing, it wasn't awful.
Of course, before I moved here, I didn't know anybody who'd ever been arrested, so maybe that's a bad thing.

[LongElegantLegs]

I've got some Soy-rizo in the fridge...

[MEG33]

I Love Texas!

[Maximus of Texas]

Sounds like you've made a great deal of friends who prefer to wear orange jump suits.

[LongElegantLegs]

Only one who's been to prison, a couple who've been in jail overnight. I bet the troll came down from California hoping for a little BrokeBack Mountain action and got arrested for being a dumbass...

[hiredhand]

Well now! That firms it up for me! Texas is on my TOP list of places to visit as soon as I can now! I'll visit some Freepers, spend some money, go to the range and shoot something...:-)

ZOT!


We hope you enjoyed the ride while you were here at FreeRepublic!




We know how you must be feeling right about now. :-) ...

[SolidRedState]

I love Texas. I have family in Texas. Apparently law enforcement is doing a good job if they caught your sorry a$$. Bwahahahaha!!

Oh and BTW...

" TEXAS! Has a wh*** house in it! " LOL Great movie.

[Zacs Mom]

Rocket Buster made mine ...

[Liberty Valance]

ROFL!!! I like your story better. Good to see you posting Brucifer...now get back to grading papers! Those UT Freshmen need all the help they can get! ;o)

Remember the Alamo! Remember Goliad!

[Maximus of Texas]

Very sharp!

[umbagi]

... aside from the whole 'jail' thing, it wasn't awful.

Yep. Some folks don't know when they have it good. Back in those "good ole days," I picked up a lot of San Antonio sorries and hauled them back for a stay in the Kerr County jail (the old one ;-).

Most of 'em really missed the SA juzgado, and groused about Kerr County the same way this Calipornian's whining about Bexar County. You just can't satisfy 'em...

News flash - some people outside of San Francisco actually consider it a crime to have gay sex in front of kids in the bathrooms at interstate rest stops. Just a friendly little traveling tip from someone who lives in the real world.
