The Day I Went Down To Texas Lyrics - Texas Fever - Orange Juice

If you should change your mind 

Please leave the key beneath the mat 

And as for me I'm stepping 

Out with these walls to a land that enthralls 

A land where a man can realize his dreams 

I took my place in a fast moving queue 

Walked up the gangplank and winked at the crew 

And now I'm bound for pastures new 

Texas, down in Texas 

Now I'm reelin' in the drunken sun 

I jumped on the back of a Cadillac 

I said, I guess I'm a lucky son of a gun

You write occasionally in such a perfunctory style 

Despite myself I always 

Smile while remembering our glorious past 

I guess we both knew it was too good to last 

I once wrote a song though the words didn't scan 

You still insisted that you were a fan 

But you were so much younger then 

Texas, down in Texas 

Now I'm reelin' in the drunken sun 

I jumped on the back of a Cadillac 

I said, I guess I'm a lucky son of a gun
