West Texas Is the Best Texas (feat. John Baumann, Josh Abbott Band, Flatland Cavalry & William Clark Green)

West Texas is the best Texas
From the Panhandle to the Trans-Pecos
From the Llano Estacado all the way down to Big band
There's something in the dust out here
There's something in the wind

Not like Dallas, Texas, more like Crystal Palace Texas
All the lawyers and the housewives drive around in a Lexus
They're fightin' over money, fightin' over custody
Fightin' traffic on the freeway
No, that don't sound free to me

It sounds like
Austin, Texas, which is lost in Texas
Californians coming in like it is going outta style
With their vegan diets and their self-driving cars
I like my peace and quiet and my sky full of stars

Out in West Texas is the best Texas
From the Panhandle to the Trans-Pecos
From the Llano Estacado all the way down to Big band
There's something in the dust out there
There's something in the wind

Now, East Texas ain't the least Texas
But it's too far East to be West Texas
You can't see no sunrise for them Piney wood trees
You can't see no sunsets either
So it's "No, thank you please"

Just like Houston, Texas, well, it used to be Texas
But it's just a big old spur on the boot of Louisiana
Seven million people breathing in that salty air
It's too damn hot, too damn humid, too damn crowded there

Don't get me wrong, it's just a song
Don't take it to heart
We love all of Texas, but our favorite part is out in
West Texas

Don't get us wrong, it's just a song
Don't take it to heart
We love all of Texas, but our favorite part is out in

West Texas is the best Texas
From the Panhandle to the Trans-Pecos
From the Llano Estacado all the way down to Big Band
There's something in the dust out here
There's something in the wind

Out in West Texas
Best Texas
