Texas Cookin’
By Guy Clark

Capo 5

This really doesn’t ever change chords.
It’s the capo that gives it the sound.

D
I'm going down to Austin, Texas
D
I'm going down to save my soul
D
Get that barbeque and chili
D
Eat my fill then come back home
D
I'm gonna take my baby with me
D
We gonna have a high ol' time
D
We gonna eat till we get silly
D
Sho' do make a beer taste fine


Chorus
D
Oh my, momma ain't that Texas Cookin' something
D
Oh my, momma it'll stop yo' belly and backbone bumpin'
D
Oh my, momma ain't that Texas Cookin' good
D
Oh my, momma eat it everyday if I could

Solo

I know a man that cook armadillo
tastes so sweet he calls it pie
I know a woman makes pan dulce
tastes so good it gets you high
Get them enchiladas greasy
get them steaks chicken fried
Sho' do make a man feel happy
to see white gravy on the side

Chorus

I know a place that got fried okra
beat anything I ever saw
I know a man that cook cabrito
it must be against the law

We gonna get a big ol' sausage
a big ol' plate of ranch style beans
I could eat the heart of Texas
we gonna need some brand new jeans

Chorus
