Goin' Down To Sing In Texas

I’m goin’ down to sing in Texas

Where anybody can carry a gun

But we will all be so much safer there

The biggest lie under the sun

Go ahead and shoot me

If it floats your little boat

I’ll live by my conscience

Even if that’s all she wrote

I’m goin’ down to sing in Texas

Where anybody can carry a gun

It’s been way too long comin’

But I wanna thank The Chicks

They found out what it’s like to be a women

And defy the Establishment

Merle Haggard, Willie Nelson

Any guy in a cowboy hat

Would’ve walked away unscathed

Takin’ a stand like that

It’s been too long coming

But I wanna thank The Chicks

I’m so glad Jesus drove those moneychangers

Out of the church

He didn’t mince his words for fear

Their feelings might be hurt

He spoke truth to power

He stood up for the poor

The church today wouldn’t even

Let him through the door

I’m so glad Jesus drove those moneychangers

Out of the church

I know a couple of Muslims

They seem like decent folks to me

I’d take any one of them

Over that evangelist I’m watchin’ on T.V.

You wanna ban somethin’?

I’ve got a plan

Let’s ban hate from every corner of our land

I know a couple of Muslims

And they seem like decent folks to me

What’s the deal with all these war criminals

Who get to walk around free

Like that president who lied about WMD

Hundreds of thousands of people

Are lying in their graves

Celebrities are calling him

The sweet new friend they’ve make

What’s the deal with all these war criminals

Out walkin’ around free

I just wanna say thank you

To those brave women in The Squad

Everyday their lives are jeopardized

By that hate monger and his mob

But, when you care about something

That’s bigger than you

Even the fires of hell ain’t too much

To go walkin’ through

And I just wanna say thank you

To those brave women in The Squad

Aren’t we all just a little bit tired

Of greedy people gettin’ a free pass

Hoarding obscene amounts of wealth

Ridin’ on everybody else’s back

Hey Mr Bezos, I’m talking’ to you

That flimsy veil you’re wearing

Is so easy to see through

Aren’t we all just a little bit tired

Of greedy people gettin’ a free pass

How many more people of color

Are we gonna let be gunned down by police

How many more perpetrators

Are we gonna sit back and watch walk free

You took a knee to stand up for your rights

I want you to know I’m right there by your side

How many more people of color

Are we gonna let be gunned down by police

I know I’m just a pilgrim

I’m only passing through

It’s a choice I’m making

Tryin to be true

I don’t know if there’s a judgement day

Or a master plan

But I’ wanna be ready

If before the Lord I stand

I know I’m just a pilgrim

Only passing through

I’m going down to sing in Texas

Where anybody can carry a gun

But we’ll all be so much safer there

The biggest lie under the sun

Go ahead and shoot me

If it floats your little boat

I’ll live by my conscience

Even if that’s all she wrote

I’m going down to sing in Texas

Where anybody can carry a gun

I’m going down to sing in Arkansas

Where anybody can carry a gun

I’ll go on up and sing in Michigan

Where anybody can carry a gun

My mama told me: you can run to the rocks

And try to hide your face

But those rocks will cry out there’s no hiding place

So I’ll go on down and sing in Texas

Where anybody can carry a gun
