Planet Texas Lyrics - Kenny Rogers

Planet Texas 

They rode like they was Rangers as they came out of the skies 

They had High-Tech horses with beacons in their eyes 

My gun was cocked and ready when I looked into their face 

I seen they just weren't just common buck-a-roos born of the human race 

No, sir, these Cowboys came from space 

Their shootin' irons shot laser light and their spurs was anodized 

Bandanas caked with stardust and their jeans was pressurized 

Well he handed me a halter, said, "Tighten up the girth." 

But before I hit the saddle we were miles above the Earth. 

And I mean MILES above the Earth

Yippie-aye-ay-e 

I seen London, Paris, Budapest, Kashmir and Tokyo 

And there ain't no sight like a desert night looking down on Mexico 

To the Moons of Mars and Jupiter, 'round Saturn's rings we rode 

Past the frozen plains of Pluto where even the sunshine's cold 

Man, I do mean COLD 

Then our interstellar stallions sailed through the starless void 

There was nothing to miss in that emptiness, not even a stray asteroid 

So we picked up the trail of a comet tail, man, you can't even DREAM that far 

And the galloping beat like the rhythm of an old catgut guitar 

Just the strummin' of a distant star 

Yippie-aye-ay-e 

Well, it could have lasted minutes or a hundred thousand years 

When they got me down, I was safe and sound and it hadn't even popped my ears 

And they reared back on their broncos and they shot a bolt of light 

I knew they were the good guys, yes, sir. you got it right 

'Cause their cowboy hats was White

So I asked 'em as they pulled their reins towards the settin' sun 

I said, "Before you go, I'd like to know, just where you boys come from?" 

Well they opened up a star chart and said, "right here where this 'X' is 

It's the biggest place in Outer Space, the planet known as Texas"
