Smythe and Taylor - You Can't Be A Wimp and Live In Texas

Back




A Texas-themed video from Smythe and Taylor. Request it in Midland or Odessa! We sent all the country station the press kit with the CD - they have it! See all of you in July at the Museum of the Southwest! Lyric below: You can't be a wimp and live in Texas It's best to just join in and play the game. Houston in the summer can really be a hummer but it does you no good to complain You can't be a wimp and live in Texas Once again I'll tell you that it's true Ya go cryin' on your sleeve and they'll just ask you to leave Cause you can't be a wimp and live in Texas (verse1) Well I knew a man in Baytown and he made a big mistake When looked out of his window he saw his yard a lake Twelve inches fell from the sky in an hour and half And as a shrimp boat sailed on down his street you could hear that captain laugh -- (he laughed) You can't be a wimp and live in Texas It's best to just join in and play the game. You go cryin' on your sleeve and they'll just ask you to leave You'll get bitten by some fire ants and the snakes aren't very tame You can't be a wimp and live in Texas Once again I'll tell you that it's true Fuss about your heavy load and you'll find yourself walkin' down that road Cause you can't be a wimp and live in Texas (Verse 2) So I bought a pickup truck and I put a gun rack in the back Bought hats and boots and spurs and jeans - dressed in black like Johnny Cash I bought some beer and barbeque -- enjoyed each and every bite And when I sat there stuck in traffic well I sang with all my might - I sang You can't be a wimp and live in Texas Once again I'll tell you that it's true Fuss about your heavy load -- find yourself walkin down that road Cause you can't be a wimp and live in Texas If you can't stand it on the bayou you can go back to Ohio Cause you can't be a wimp and live in Texas If you can't stand them jalapenos go eat quiche in Mendecino Cause you can't be a wimp and live in Texas If it's too hot in Austin you can just go back to Boston Cause you can't be a wimp and live in Texas

Hello All! Here's the latest in what I hope will become a string of videos to promote the show we'll be playing in Midland on July 8th at the Museum of the Southwest. Bring your lawn chairs! This song, "You Can't Be A Wimp And Live In Texas" was written by my duo partner, Gary Taylor... thanks! TC
