Goin' Down To Sing In Texas

[Verse 1] I'm going down to sing in Texas Where anybody can carry a gun But we will all be so much safer there The biggest lie under the sun Go ahead and shoot me If it floats your little boat But I'll live by my conscience Even if that's all she wrote I’m going down to sing in Texas Where anybody can carry a gun [Verse 2] It's been way too long comin' But I want to thank The Chicks They found out what it's like to be a woman And defy the establishment Merle Haggard, Willie Nelson Any guy in a cowboy hat Would have walked away unscathed Takin' a stand like that Well, it's been way too long coming But I want to thank The Chicks [Verse 3] I'm so glad Jesus drove those moneychangers Out of the church He didn't mince his words for fear That their feelings might get hurt He spoke truth to power He stood up for the poor The church today wouldn't even Let him through the door I'm so glad Jesus drove those moneychangers Out of the church [Verse 4] I know a couple of Muslims And they seem like pretty decent folks to me I'd take anyone of them Over that evangelist I'm watchin' on T.V You wanna ban somethin'? I've got a plan Let's ban hate from every corner of our land Well, I know a couple of Muslims And they seem like pretty decent folks to me [Verse 5] What's the deal with all these war criminals Who get to walk around free Like that president Who lied about WMD Hundreds of thousands of people Are lying in their graves Celebrities are calling him The sweet new friend they've made What's the deal with all these war criminals Out walkin' around free [Verse 6] I just wanna say "Thank you" To those brave women in the squad Every day their lives are jeopardized By that hate monger and his mob But when you care about something That's bigger than you Even the fires of hell ain't too much To go walking through And I just wanna say "Thank you" To those brave women in the squad [Verse 7] Ain't we all just a little bit tired Of greedy people gettin' a free pass Hoarding obscene amounts of wealth Riding on everybody else's back Hey Mr Bezos I'm talking to you That flimsy veil you're wearing Is so easy to see through Aren't we all just a little bit tired Of greedy people gettin' a free pass [Verse 8] How many more people of color Are we gonna let be gunned down by police? How many more perpetrators Are we gonna sit back and watch walk free? You took a knee To stand up for your rights I want you to know That I'm right there by your side How many more people of color Are we gonna let be gunned down by police? [Verse 9] I know I'm just a pilgrim I’m only passing through It's a choice I'm making Tryin' to be true I don't know if there's a judgment day Or a master plan But I wanna be ready If before the Lord I stand And I know I'm just a pilgrim Only passing through [Verse 10] I'm goin' down to sing in Texas Where anybody can carry a gun But we will all be so much safer there The biggest lie under the sun Go ahead and shoot me If it floats your little boat But I'll live by my conscience Even if that's all she wrote I'm going down to sing in Texas Where anybody can carry a gun I'm going down to sing in Arkansas Where anybody can carry a gun I'm going up to sing in Michigan Where anybody can carry a gun [Outro] My momma told me: you can run to the rocks And try to hide your face But those rocks will cry out There ain't no hiding place So I'll go on down and sing in Texas Where anybody can carry a gun
