You can take me in the city
You can take me in the road
You can have me anyway you want
I'll be your overload
Don't ask me where I'm going
Don't ask me where I been
I'm passing through this one horse town
In search of that elusive dream
Got me a job in Austin, Texas
I am a P.R man
I hand out pamphlets of the second coming
It's part of my financial plan
So goodbye to all my friends an' foes
Maybe we can all meet up again
But with bullets dipped in turpentine
I doubt it will ever be the same
Because the bank I took in Dallas
Simply doesn't understand
What I did, I did for circumstance
It was all part of my financial plan
So goodbye to all my friends an' foes
Maybe we can all meet up again
But with bullets dipped in turpentine
I doubt it will ever be the same
With bullets dipped in turpentine
I doubt it will ever be the same...

Inspired by the rock n roll music of ZZ Top...

Very daring for touching a classic type of music like ZZ top. I give you props for that. I think the lyrics are a lil bit too hard compared to what ZZ top usually is but it's still really good. Thanks for entering.

there ia a line in almost every stanza thats meter is to high that it throws the entie staza in to chaos, it just does not flow well

I love the phrase "bullets dipped in turpentine" it's so unique and clever. It creates an interesting vision.
