for all of my Texas friends
Especially those who have moved away (like me).
My friend Joe told me about this song which I absolutely love now. If you have a chance, check it out - "Ohio (Come Back to Texas)" by Bowling for Soup. It makes me smile and wiggle in my seat. It was also fun looking at different websites for lyrics. It was always obvious when the person who was transcribing WASN'T from Texas, because he would mishear lyrics that he would know better if he were from Texas.
a little time to think -
but then she went to Cleveland
with some guy named Leelan
that she met at the bank.
There's nothing wrong with Ohio
except the snow and the rain.
I really like Drew Carey
and I'd love to see the Rock 'n' Rock Hall of Fame.
So when you're done doing whatever
and when you're through doing whoever,
you know Denton County will be right here waiting for you...
Come back to Texas.
It's just not the same since you went away.
Before you lose your accent
and forget all about the Lone Star State.
There's a seat for you at the rodeo
and I've got every slow dance saved.
Besides the Mexican food sucks north of here anyway.
I think I made a mistake.
It's not that easy to take.
She went to make a deposit
then she cleaned out her closet.
Guess I'll sit here and wait
For her to come back home (I wish she'd come back home).
It shouldn't take very long (so long, so long).
I bet she misses the sunrise
and Mrs. Baird's fruit pies, but I could be wrong.
So when you're done doing whatever
and when you're through doing whoever,
you know Denton County will be right here waiting for you...
Come back to Texas.
It's just not the same since you went away.
I bet you missed your exit
and drove right on through the Lone Star State.
There's a seat for you at the rodeo
and I've got every slow dance saved.
Besides the Mexican food sucks north of here anyway.
Troy Aikman wants you back.
Willie Nelson wants you back.
NASA wants you back.
And the Bush twins want you back.
Pantera wants you back.
And Blue Bell wants you back.
I got a premonition.
I'm taking a petition
and the whole state's gonna sign.
Come back to Texas.
It's just not the same since you went away.
Before you lose your accent
and forget all about the Lone Star State.
There's a seat for you at the rodeo
and I've got every slow dance saved...

Yep, I have to agree... last time I ate Mexican food up north there were mashed potatoes on the side of my enchiladas!

Hah, ya here in Northern California, we go get fajitas - which should only have meat, peppers, and onions on the skillet - and the veggies that come in it are zucchini, potatoes, and carrots.
That ain't right.

Howdy - but I believe the lyric is:
I bet she misses the sunrise,
and the Mrs. Baird's fruit pies, but I could be wrong.
But, hey, I could be wrong!

This is the best song ever released. I am from Texas and now I do live in Ohio. At the part when everyone screams, "COME BACK TO TEXAS!!!!!!", I always cry like a baby. I am very homesick. :( (Including me, there's probably only about 50 Mexicans in all of Ohio) So unless we cook the Mexican food does suck! Thank you BFS, someone finally understands.

Can someone e-mail me and tell me if there really is Mrs. Baird's Fruit Pies? I googled it and came up w/ nada.
Thanks! ^^
