Lyrics
I get two pounds of sirloin steak to add flesh to the bones
then some beans on toast on the side, so 'Longhorn' don't sleep alone
a sip of tabasco, tomato salad - here we go
I dig stuffed jalapeno, tortillas, then one for the road
and some salsa, peppers and spices, well, just the full load
living in a dream of scents and tastes, oh, oh
Chorus
Tex-Mex Food and Texas Blues
spicy sound put to good use
Tex-Mex Food and Texas Blues
Lonestar state relish cruise
Vers 2
Well, we're all sittin' here at the roadhouse to tap to the blues
wolfing down greasy food and testing the best of the booze
tomorrow never comes - uhm
What we we need now is cream tarts as last course and then just a break
Sweet soul music and a huge piece of cherry cake
Down with sweet dessert wines - way more than we can take
Chorus
Tex-Mex Food and Texas Blues
spicy sound put to good use
Tex-Mex Food and Texas Blues
Lonestar state relish cruise
