London Homesick Blues - Gary P. Nunn

When you're down on your luck.
And you ain't got a buck
In London, you're a goner.
And London Bridge
Has fallen down
And moved to Arizona.
Now I know why.

We'll now substantiate the rumor
That the English sense of humor
Is drier than the Texas sands.
You can put up your dukes.
Go bet your boots.
I'll be leavin' here as soon as I can.

I wanna go home with the armadillo,
Country music from Amarillo and Abilene,
The prettiest women and the friendliest people you ever seen.

Well, I decided that
I'd take my cowboy hat.
And go down to the Marble Arch station.
'Cause when a Texan fancies
To take his chances.
Chances will be taken,
That's for sure.

And goes blind me eyes
For eying the prize
Some people call manly footwear.
'Cause when your thumb down South.
When you open your mouth.
You always seem to put your foot there.

I wanna go home with the armadillo,
Country music from Amarillo and Abilene,
The friendliest people and the prettiest women you ever seen.

I wanna go home with the armadillo,
Country music from the Lone Star Café and Abilene,
The prettiest women and the friendliest people you ever seen.

Lyrics from Tiger's Song Book.
