lyrics
Now that's two pounds of flour for a dime
And a story if you've got the time
About a spaceman who landed
After half an hour said he couldn't stand it here
They say the best things in life don't come for free
And things you've never even seen on the TV
I don't know when they'll come
But I know they'll come and then they'll come for me
I never wanted no Texlahoma
Cos living here is just a fifty-year coma
You can't be you and I can't be me
Cos it's the only place I never ever wanted to be
Now I'm pumping gas and waiting tables
And clearing out the Coupland stables
They say that if you work real hard
You'll get a great big house just like that movie with Clark Gable
I met a girl with hair dyed blonde, her eyes were green
Told her she had just the prettiest roots you ever did see
"Bet you never heard that one before,"
But she just smiled and said it wouldn't hurt to hear it once more
I never wanted no Texlahoma
Cos living here is just a fifty-year coma
You can't be you and I can't be me
Cos it's the only place I never ever wanted to be
And the worst things in life, they come for free
The bad news is the best news you will see is on your TV
It'll come for me
I never wanted no Texlahoma
Cos living here is just a fifty-year coma
You can't be you and I can't be me
Cos it's the only place I never ever wanted to be
And a story if you've got the time
About a spaceman who landed
After half an hour said he couldn't stand it here
They say the best things in life don't come for free
And things you've never even seen on the TV
I don't know when they'll come
But I know they'll come and then they'll come for me
I never wanted no Texlahoma
Cos living here is just a fifty-year coma
You can't be you and I can't be me
Cos it's the only place I never ever wanted to be
Now I'm pumping gas and waiting tables
And clearing out the Coupland stables
They say that if you work real hard
You'll get a great big house just like that movie with Clark Gable
I met a girl with hair dyed blonde, her eyes were green
Told her she had just the prettiest roots you ever did see
"Bet you never heard that one before,"
But she just smiled and said it wouldn't hurt to hear it once more
I never wanted no Texlahoma
Cos living here is just a fifty-year coma
You can't be you and I can't be me
Cos it's the only place I never ever wanted to be
And the worst things in life, they come for free
The bad news is the best news you will see is on your TV
It'll come for me
I never wanted no Texlahoma
Cos living here is just a fifty-year coma
You can't be you and I can't be me
Cos it's the only place I never ever wanted to be
