Lyrics:
There are snakes around my trailer, I found a scorpion in my bed 
If Texas Has Its Way, I’ll could  wake up dead.
Black Mold underneath the sheet rock, Paper Wasps in the eaves
I try to keep up with the up keep, but an honest man may be deceived 
God help the child, set upon by thieves.
Another jacked up day when you wake up already late 
Bolt out the front door, wonder what I run for, to meet my fate 
If Texas Had Its Way, I’d be gone without a trace
One hundred right behind  to take my place
Hot sun working on the red clay, cracks like a chain
Hell in August Texas, Fools pray for rain 
dumb sonsabitches  hurricane

If it wasn’t trying to kill you, It wouldn’t be Texas
If you aint got the fight you won’t make it here
You see that Hat driving that Lexis
Venom in that wicked grin from ear to ear

And If it wasn’t trying to kill you, It wouldn’t be Texas
If you aint got the fight you won’t make it here
You see that Hat driving that Lexis
Venom in that wicked grin from ear to ear

It a  jacked up day when you wake up already late 
Bolt out the front door, wonder what I run for, to meet my fate 
If Texas Had Its Way, I’d be gone without a trace
One hundred right behind  to take my place

There are snakes around my trailer, I found a scorpion in my bed 
If Texas Has Its Way,
There will be blood shed
If trouble makes the man, I am thoroughbred.
