[Verse 1]
GWell when you're down on your luck and you ain't got a buck
In DLondon, you're a goner.
Even London Bridge has fallen down
And Gmoved to Arizona, now I know Cwhy
And I'll substantiate the rumor that the English sense of humor
Is Gdrier than the Texas sand
You can Emput up your dukes, or you can Gaug/Bbet your boots
But I'm Dleavin' just as fast as I can.
[Chorus]
I want to go Chome with the B/CArmadilAmla'
Good country Cmusic from AmarilDla' and AbilGene
The friendliest Cpeople and the prettiest Dwomen you've ever Gseen.
[Verse 2]
Well, it's Gcold over here, and I swear
I Dwish they'd turn the heat on
And where in the world is that English girl
I Gpromised I would meet on the third Cfloor
And of the whole damn lot the only friend I got
Is a Gsmoke and a cheap guitar
My Emmind keeps rollin' and my Gaug/Bheart keeps yearnin'
To be hDome in a Texas bar.
[Chorus]
I want to go Chome with the B/CArmadilAmla'
Good country Cmusic from AmarilDla' and AbilGene
The friendliest Cpeople and the prettiest Dwomen you've ever Gseen.
Well I Gdecided that I'd get my cowboy hat
And Dgo down to Marble Arch Station
'Cause when a DTexan fancies he'll take his chances
ChanceGs will be taken, that's for Csure
And them Limey eyes, they were eyein' the prize
Some Gpeople call manly footwear
And they said "EmYou're from down South"
And when you Gaug/Bopen your mouth
You aDlways seem to put your foot there.
[Chorus]
I want to go Chome with the B/CArmadilAmla'
Good country Cmusic from AmarilDla' and AbilGene
The friendliest Cpeople and the prettiest Dwomen you've ever Gseen.
