Texas Cookin' Lyrics - The Essential Guy Clark - Guy Clark

I'm going down to Austin, Texas 

I'm going down to save my soul 

Get that bar-be -que and chili 

Eat my fill then come back home 

I'm gonna take my baby with me 

We gonna have a high ol' time 

We gonna eat till we get silly 

Sho' do make a beer taste fine 

[Chorus] 

Oh my, momma ain't that Texas Cookin' something 

Oh my, momma it'll stop yo' belly and backbone bumpin' 

Oh my, momma ain't that Texas Cookin' good 

Oh my, momma eat it everyday if I could 

I know a man that cook armadillo 

Tastes so sweet he calls it pie 

I know a woman makes pan dulce 

Tastes so good it gets you high 

Get them enchiladas greasy 

Get them steaks chicken fried 

Sho' do make a man feel happy 

To see white gravy on the side 

[Chorus] 

I know a place that got fried okra 

Beat anything I ever saw 

I know a man that cook cabrito 

It must be against the law 

We gonna get a big ol' sausage 

A big ol' plate of ranch style beans 

I could eat the heart of Texas 

We gonna need some brand new jeans
