The easiest song you will ever play :D
[Intro]
Em E Em E
[Verse 1]
EI got on my cowboy boots, jeans and Hawaiian shirt
EMirrored sunglasses and a mobile phone
EI guess I look like some Port Aransas dope dealer who?s out on bail
EJust trying to get home
EBut I ain't in jail, and I got me a guitar and I got a little band that
Ehotter than a rocket
ESometimes we're sloppy, we're always loud
ETonight we're just ornery and locked in the pocket
[Chorus]
ESo screw you, we're from Texas
EScrew you, we're from Texas
EScrew you, we're from Texas
EWe're from Texas, baby, so screw you
[Verse 2]
ENow I love the US and the other states, ahh they're ok
ETexas is the place I want to be and I don?t care if I ever go to Delaware
Eanyway
ECuz we got studs and Green Hall and Antones and John T's Country Store
EWe got Willie and Jackie and Jack, Robert Earle, Pat Core, Charlie and me
Eand so many more
[Chorus]
ESo screw you, we're from Texas
EScrew you, we're from Texas
EScrew you, we're from Texas
EWe're from Texas, baby, so screw you
ESing it with me
ESo screw you, we're from Texas
EScrew you, we're from Texas
EScrew you, we're from Texas
EWe're from Texas, baby, so screw you
[Verse 3]
ENow Texas has gotten a bad reputation because of what happened in Dallas
Eand Waco
EAnd our corporations they are corrupt, and the politicians are swindlers
Eand loco
EBut when it comes to music my friend I believe these words are as true as
ESt. John the Revelator's
EOur Mr. Vaughan was the best that there ever was and no band was cooler
Ethan the 13th Floor Elevators
[Chorus]
ESo screw you, we're from Texas
EScrew you, we're from Texas
EScrew you, we're from Texas
ESo screw you, we're from Texas
EScrew you, we're from Texas
EScrew you, we're from Texas

Screw You Were From Texas

by Ray Wylie Hubbard

Lyrics & chords · Original key

The easiest song you will ever play :D

[Intro]

Em E Em E

[Verse 1]

I got on my cowboy boots, jeans and Hawaiian shirt

Mirrored sunglasses and a mobile phone

I guess I look like some Port Aransas dope dealer who?s out on bail

Just trying to get home

But I ain't in jail, and I got me a guitar and I got a little band that

hotter than a rocket

Sometimes we're sloppy, we're always loud

Tonight we're just ornery and locked in the pocket

[Chorus]

So screw you, we're from Texas

Screw you, we're from Texas

We're from Texas, baby, so screw you

[Verse 2]

Now I love the US and the other states, ahh they're ok

Texas is the place I want to be and I don?t care if I ever go to Delaware

anyway

Cuz we got studs and Green Hall and Antones and John T's Country Store

We got Willie and Jackie and Jack, Robert Earle, Pat Core, Charlie and me

and so many more

[Chorus]

So screw you, we're from Texas

Screw you, we're from Texas

We're from Texas, baby, so screw you

Sing it with me

So screw you, we're from Texas

Screw you, we're from Texas

We're from Texas, baby, so screw you

[Verse 3]

Now Texas has gotten a bad reputation because of what happened in Dallas

and Waco

And our corporations they are corrupt, and the politicians are swindlers

and loco

But when it comes to music my friend I believe these words are as true as

St. John the Revelator's

Our Mr. Vaughan was the best that there ever was and no band was cooler

than the 13th Floor Elevators

[Chorus]

So screw you, we're from Texas

Screw you, we're from Texas

So screw you, we're from Texas

Screw you, we're from Texas
