Planet Texas

They rode like they was Rangers as they came out of the skiesThey had High-Tech horses with beacons in their eyesMy gun was cocked and ready when I looked into their facesThat's when I kinew they weren't no ordinary buck-a-roos born of the human raceNo, sir, these Cowboys came from spaceTheir shootin' irons shot laser light and their spurs was anodizedBandanas caked with stardust and their jeans was pressurizedOne of them handed me a halter, said, "Tighten up the girth."But by the time I hit the saddle we were miles above the Earth.And I mean MILES above the EarthYippie-aye-ay-eWe saw London, Paris, Budapest, Kashmir and TokyoAnd there ain't no sight like a desert night looking down on MexicoPast the Moons of Mars and Jupiter, 'round Saturn's rings we rodeToward the frozen plains of Pluto where even the sunshine's coldMan, I do mean COLDThen our innterstellar stallions sailed through the starless voidThere was nothing to miss in that emptiness, not even a stray asteroidSo we picked up the trail of a comet's tail, man, you can't even DREAM thatfarAnd the hoofbeats beat of the rhythm of an old catgut guitarJust the strummin' of a distant starYippie-aye-ay-eWell, it could have lasted minutes or a hundred thousand yearsWhen they got me down, I was safe and sound and it hadn't even popped my earsAnd they stood up in their saddles and they shot a bolt of lightThat's when I knew they were the good guys, yes, sir. you got it right'Cause their cowboy hats was WhiteSo as they pulled their reins towards the settin' sunI said, "Before you go, I'd like to know, just where you boys come from?"One of 'em opened up a star chart and said, "right here where this 'X' isIt's the biggest place in Outer Space, the planet known as Texas"Yippie-aye-ay-eYippie-aye-ay-eYippie-aye-ay-e
