Texas Cops Lyrics

Those Texas Cops are mean, man, I’ll tell you how I know
Cause even riding clean, they’ll put you face down on the hood
Then they make you shuck and jive before they let you go
But I do not miss home, no, not home

They got me shaking something fierce on ’59, north of Humble
Just trying to make Texarkana, man, to bed down on the floor
But what I know and they don’t know, is something I know so well
I won’t back down from them and I never will

You can take me for everything and I still wouldn’t ask for more
Your one good meal a day could last me about four
And I sleep well without conscience, passing towns I’ve passed before
Singing , “I do not miss home, no, not home”

If I got one more train to ride, boy, I’d tell you where I’d go
Where railroad cops wore blinders and all fences came with holes
And division points had cold beer flowing by beaches of white sand
But that won’t happen and it never can

But it’s alright, yeah, it’s okay
A bad time is better than no time any day
It’s alright, yeah, it’s okay
A bad time is better than no time any day

You can take me for everything and I still wouldn’t ask for more
Your one good meal a day could last me about four
And I sleep well without conscience, passing towns I’ve passed before
Singing , “I do not miss home, no, not home”
“I do not miss home, no, not home” [3x]
