lyrics

When I’m havin’ a drink in my Cadillac
Light up a smoke it really takes me back
To a time that was different than it is today
When a hard working young man could make his own way

On the gulf coast, where the breakers crash
Up in the pan-handle, young guns will clash
You might get lucky in Kentucky
Stay away from the east side, and don’t mess with Texas
Don’t mess with Texas

I gotta get on the road and try to be a star
But at four bucks a gallon I won’t get very far
The taxman called, he’s after my dough
But all I wanna do is catch my last show

Don’t tread on me, cause I’ll fight back
Don’t try to tell me that I’ve got no class
You might not like the red state way
Just live free or die, and don’t mess with Texas

I gotta go to place where they’ll protect my rights
Fire my guns and rock ‘n’ roll all night
Been working so hard for such a long time
Blood, sweat, and tears just to make a dime

If you got into trouble and you’re on the run
Find a good place to hide in the Mexican sun
You might not like the car I drive
Never saddle a dead horse, and don’t mess with Texas
Don’t mess with Texas

Don’t mess no

Oh yeah don’t fuck with Texas

“Think British Steel and Lightning to the Nations pulling a rusty blade on Heavy Metal Maniac and Kill ‘Em All, with Don’t Break the Oath and Balls to the Wall cackling with glee in the background.”

DEVICE have forged their sound around metal’s classic triumphs ... more
