[Verse 1]
[tab]
Well when you re down on your luck and you ain t got a buck[/tab]
[tab]
In London, you re a goner.[/tab]
Even London Bridge has fallen down
[tab]
And moved to Arizona, now I know why[/tab]
And I ll substantiate the rumor that the English sense of humor
[tab]
Is drier than the Texas sand[/tab]
[tab]
You can put up your dukes, or you can bet your boots[/tab]
[tab]
But I m leavin just as fast as I can.[/tab]
[Chorus]
[tab]
I want to go home with the Armadilla [/tab]
[tab]
Good country music from Amarilla and Abilene[/tab]
[tab]
The friendliest people and the prettiest women you ve ever seen.[/tab]
[Verse 2]
[tab]
Well, it s cold over here, and I swear[/tab]
[tab]
I wish they d turn the heat on[/tab]
And where in the world is that English girl
[tab]
I promised I would meet on the third floor[/tab]
And of the whole damn lot the only friend I got
[tab]
Is a smoke and a cheap guitar[/tab]
[tab]
My mind keeps rollin and my heart keeps yearnin [/tab]
[tab]
To be home in a Texas bar.[/tab]
[Chorus]
[tab]
I want to go home with the Armadilla [/tab]
[tab]
Good country music from Amarilla and Abilene[/tab]
[tab]
The friendliest people and the prettiest women you ve ever seen.[/tab]
[tab]
Well I decided that I d get my cowboy hat[/tab]
[tab]
And go down to Marble Arch Station[/tab]
[tab]
Cause when a Texan fancies he ll take his chances[/tab]
[tab]
Chances will be taken, that s for sure[/tab]
And them Limey eyes, they were eyein the prize
[tab]
Some people call manly footwear[/tab]
[tab]
And they said "You re from down South"[/tab]
[tab]
And when you open your mouth[/tab]
[tab]
You always seem to put your foot there.[/tab]
[Chorus]
[tab]
I want to go home with the Armadilla [/tab]
[tab]
Good country music from Amarilla and Abilene[/tab]
[tab]
The friendliest people and the prettiest women you ve ever seen.[/tab]
