Hey I don't need no chickenshit business man
tellin' me what to do
Even if you ain't got no business
same thing goes for you
I don't need no sweet faced woman
goin sour mouthed on me
If I work like a dog night an day
to give her a hundred time more'n she needs
Gone to Texas baby
Gone to Texas tonight
Gone to Texas baby
All I need is the ride
You say it ain't no different'n
Any other place to go
Well you ain't been with me
Or you'd already know
It's just the feel of the deal
from behind the wheel
That'll make me need to go
Well I don't need no stinky Pinky
sing to me about the common man
Some cowboy fake who think all it takes
is a hat on his head and a Grammy in his hand
An I don't need no weekend warrior
out there protectin me
If he's dumb with a gun as he is with his tongue
when he's shootin off on TV
Gone to Texas baby
Gone to Texas tonight
Gone to Texas baby
All I need is the ride
You say it ain't no different'n
Any other place to go
Well you must be a yankee
Or your just kinda slow…cause
It's just the feel of the deal
from behind the wheel
Makes you need these Texas roads
Well I don't need no dime a dozen
ah New Age way to live
An I don't need no two bit preacher
condemn me because I don't give him my
money money money money money money money
I don't need no Soldier Boy
fightin no war for me
You can burn the flag an melt the statue
gonna live my liberties…cause
I'mGone to Texas baby
Might go straight on to the moon
Gone to Texas baby
Can't get enough too soon
Say Texas ain't no different'n
Goin' straight to Hell can be
Hey you must be a critic
Are you too blind to see…
It's just the feel of the deal
from behind the wheel
Gonna heel the hell out of me
Gone to Texas baby
Gone to Texas tonight
Gone to Texas baby
All I need is the ride
