[Verse 1]
When I was driving through El Paso
That's when my truck ran out of gas-o
I fought a man to get that gas-o
That was driving through El Paso
I met a man in Amarillo
He made me wrestle his garillo
He fluffed me up just like a pillow
That was down in Amarillo
[Chorus]
The Texas tango it ruins my brain
Every town it's just the same
I just keep going from town to town
Trying not to let my deal go down
[Verse 2]
I met a man down in Durango
He made me do the Texas tango
He mashed me up just like a mango
That was driving through Durango
When I was driving down to Austin
I fought a man he was from Boston
You know it really was exhaustin'
That was driving down to Austin
[Chorus]
The Texas tango it ruins my brain
Every town it's just the same
I just keep going from town to town
Trying not to let my deal go down
When I was driving through El Paso
That's when my truck ran out of gas-o
I fought a man to get that gas-o
That was driving through El Paso
I met a man in Amarillo
He made me wrestle his garillo
He fluffed me up just like a pillow
That was down in Amarillo
[Chorus]
The Texas tango it ruins my brain
Every town it's just the same
I just keep going from town to town
Trying not to let my deal go down
[Verse 2]
I met a man down in Durango
He made me do the Texas tango
He mashed me up just like a mango
That was driving through Durango
When I was driving down to Austin
I fought a man he was from Boston
You know it really was exhaustin'
That was driving down to Austin
[Chorus]
The Texas tango it ruins my brain
Every town it's just the same
I just keep going from town to town
Trying not to let my deal go down
