Lyrics

INTRO [spoken]
On a recent trip down to Texas
I saw this very unfortunate turtle.
He was right out in the middle of the interstate,
Just tryin' to get across the road.
If you'll come back there with me,
You're going to meet that turtle,
He's going to tell you his story
And, when he does,
This is what you're going to hear him say...

CHORUS
I'm a little o' TURTLE FROM TEXAS
I've got a cow terd on my back
I'm crossin' this big o' freeway
Feelin' silly as heck
The whole world is speedin' by me
I ain't gettin' no respect
I'm a little o' TURTLE FROM TEXAS
I'm leavin, ain't comin back

VERSE!
Now, you see that cow pasture behind me?
Until today I called that home
That's where them danged ol' Herefords
And well-fed Angus roam
I was sittin' there mindin' my business
Then I felt this big o' splat
When I looked up all I could see
Was this big o' Hereford's... (Well!)

REPEAT CHORUS

VERSE2
Now I don't have the slightest idea
What's on the other side of this road
But, you know, it don't really matter
'Cause I won't be there long
If a car or a truck don't hit me
And this smell don't fry my brain
I'm headin' to Oklahoma
Just prayin' like heck it... (Rains!)

REPEAT CHORUS

TAG
I'm a little o' TURTLE FROM TEXAS
I've got the whole world on my back...
[Spoken] God bless all the little turtles in the world!]
