	        G 
Well when you're down on your luck you ain't got a buck 
    D 
in  London you're a goner now even London bridge is falling down 
     G                          C   
you  move to Arizona and I know what  
C 
and I'll substantiate the rumor that the English sense of humor is 
G  
drier than the Texas sand 
        Em                        Cm 
you can put up your dukes you can bet your boots 
        D 
but I'm leavin' just as fast as I can now 

D C Em Am I wanna go home with the armadilla' C D G good country music from Amarilla and Abilene C D G the friendliest people and the prettiest women you've ever seen
Verse 2: G D Well it's cold over here and I swear I wish they'd turn the heat on D G C and where in the world is that English girl I promised I would meet on the 3rd floor C G and of the whole damn lot the only friend I got is a smoke and a cheap guitar Em Cm D My heart keeps roamin' my heart keeps longing to be home in a Texas bar Chorus Verse 3 G D Well I decided that I'd get my cowboy hat and go down to the marble arch station D cause when a Texan fancies he'll take his chances G C chances will be takin' that's for sure C G and them limey eyes they were eyein' the prize some people call manly foot wear Em Cm and they said you're from down south and when you open your mouth D you always seem to put your foot there Chorus (Repeated several times)
