God And West Texas. (original) (raw)

When god was makin' texas
he started in the east
and filled the place with godliness
and�beautiful pine�trees

It was such a paradise
even he could not believe
this place�that�he called�Texas
would be his masterpiece

Then off he went creatin'
still makin' lots of trees
all the way�out to�West Texas
he got there�eventually

But he was out of business
creation�not�a breeze
by plantin' all the way across Texas
he just ran out of trees

Now here was his dilemma
no trees were left to please
so he made�some�thorny cactus
and left some tumbleweeds

The rest he just left�barren
as far as eyes can see
that's why�there's plains in Texas
why West Texas has no trees!
