Uncertain Texas Lyrics - Guy Clark

The crickets are singin' the bluegills been bitin' 

The fireflies are flashin' with all of their might 

Down on the river ol' Reagan went fishin' 

He's layin' for a big one on a full moon lit night 

We get high on the lake then we float down the river 

Get off on the backroads get lost in the woods 

Very deep in the heart of uncertain Texas 

I tried hard to leave there but never did good 

Tomorrow we're havin' the world's largest fish fry 

Eat catfish and crappie till they come out our ears 

Have it made in the shade of a sleepy pine thicket 

Get covered up in chiggers and drink ten tubs of beer 

We get high on the lake.. 

So give him his guitar and a long legged girl 

Moonlight in Texas and a sixpack of Pearl
