Texas Country Music Awards At Halloween – DOWNLOAD
Some a yawl might be wondering why they don’t have this event in October. Well they tried that once…. and you know it worked out… well it was…. “okay for Halloween“.
Okay….
Welcome to the Texas Music Scene,
One room, a thousand Texas Country Music Awards tickets sales shots; awards on Halloween.
Verse 1:
Oliver Loving and Charles Goodnight rushed the stage,
Singing “Bury Me Not on the Lone Prairie” from the cowboy daze.
Judge Roy Bean pulled a pistol, said, “Best song gold and it’s goin’ somewhere,”
Gave the statue to the cowboys for authentic flair.
Goodnight’s “chuckwagon” speech caused a brawl.
Loving shot out the lights and Ma Hog called the law.
Chorus:
Welcome to the the Texas Music Scene.
Everyone in one room; the Texas Awards fell on Halloween.
Wade lost to cowboys, threw a chair,
Gary just grinned, ’cause he didn’t care.
Sam Bass made a play for the box office, again.
John Wesley shot him dead, AGAIN.
That happens each year; Billy Bob’s still on the frontier,
But that ain’t in the Telegram, ‘n’ you didn’t hear that here.
Verse 2:
Guy Clark’s ghost challenged two young guns,
To a guitar duel—before the awards begun,
The kids played their riffs but lost their nerve,
Guy grinned, picked his strings, and kept his verve.
Before the song ended, the kids’d needed a specialist,
Ambulance took ‘em out to Methodist.
Guy taught them a lesson with a pick and a grin,
It was some cowboy chords, and they’ll never try that again.
Chorus:
Welcome to the the Texas Music Scene.
Everyone in one room; the Texas Awards fell on Halloween.
Wade lost to cowboys, threw a chair,
Gary just grinned, ’cause he didn’t care.
Sam Bass made a play for the box office, again.
John Wesley shot him dead, again.
That happens each year; Billy Bob’s still on the frontier,
But it ain’t in the paper, ‘n’ you didn’t hear that here.
Verse 3:
Call watched Gus and Brandi Behlen cut the cards,
Wiley old cowboy against the Texas starlet with no guards.
But, Brandi won, a smile sweet and big,
Gus sighed, knowing she’d won big.
Maybe it was his hat, maybe somethin’ sweet,
But she strutted onto stage, light on her feet.
Gus, hung his head because he knew that he’s been beat.
She won fair and square, with what she calls “discreet”.
Chorus:
Welcome to the the Texas Music Scene.
Everyone in one room; the Texas Awards fell on Halloween.
Wade lost to cowboys, threw a chair,
Gary just grinned, ’cause he didn’t care.
Sam Bass made a play for the box office, again.
John Wesley shot him dead, again.
That happens each year; Billy Bob’s still the frontier,
But it ain’t all in the paper, you didn’t hear that here.
Bridge:
Farrah Fawcett crowned Sarah Hobbs, best hair flip,
Bill Pickett’s took on a 1500-pound Chevy, gave it a flip.
Johnny Bush, mic dead, just belted out loud,
Had folks two-steppin’, makin’ the Texas Country Music Awards program promoters proud.
Verse 4:
Don’t bother asking Willie about it; he missed it all,
Him, Kris, Johnny, Waylon, and the boys, were havin’ a ball.
Playin’ poker on the bus with some guys from Turkey,
Everybody exited wide-eyed ‘n’ the story was murky.
Bob lost all their chips, and set off walking alone.
Willie and the Boys flew out on a jet, the Playboys walked home.
Chorus:
Welcome to the the Texas Music Scene.
Everyone in one room; the Texas Awards fell on Halloween.
Wade lost to cowboys ‘n’ threw a chair,
Gary just grinned, ’cause he didn’t care.
Sam Bass made a play for the box office.
John Wesley shot him dead.
That happens each year; Billy Bob’s still on the frontier,
But it ain’t in the paper, you didn’t hear that here.
Outro:
Halfway through the show, the King bolts out,
“There’s a bald cowboy ghost, in my dressing room.”
Turns out it was Gus, “borrowing” Strait’s hat,
Guess Brandi won more than a round at that.
Brandi’d won Gus’ hat and he needed another.
Welcome to the Texas Country Music Awards, where Halloween’s real calm,
Ghosts tip their hats, but there’s no cause for alarm.
Rum.
