Out-freakin-standing! Trunk full of Pearl and Lone Star!

[harveyjones]

Well
I'm a high straight in Plainview
Side bet in Idalou
An a fresh deck in New Deal
Yeah
Some call me high hand
An some call me low hand
But I'm holdin what I am…The Wheel
'Cause
I'm panhandlin
Man handlin
Post holin
High rollin
Dust Bowlin…Daddy
An I ain't got no blood veins
I just got them four lanes
Of hard…Amarillo Highway
Yeah
I don't wear no Stetson
But I'm willin to bet son
That I'm a big a Texan as you are
'Cause
There's a girl in her barefeet
'Sleep on the back seat
An that trunk is full of Pearl…and Lone Star
(chorus)
So
Gonna hop outta bed
Pop a pill in my head
Yeah, bust the Hub for the Golden Spread
Under blue skies
Gonna stuff my hide
Behind some power glide
An get some southern fried…back in my eyes
(chorus)
An close I'll ever get to heaven
Is makin' speed up ol' 87
Of that hard-ass…Amarillo Highway

Found out about this song for the first time cause of Texas Highways magazine - April 2020 issue. Love the song! Shout out from Houston.

Terry's great as always, Davis is Mr steadybeat, Bowden's great on fiddle, Charlie Sexton on guitar - who I met when he was 12 filling in for Jesse Taylor and I think that's Glenn on bass. Mom and Dad loved them all as well. They had a copy of Lubbock on Everything when the vinyl was still warm, so to speak. Most of these guys are a big part of my life and music.

[brianfergus]

[gimmetaco]

I've seen the guitar player before — anyone know his name?

[granthutcherson]

I'm telling you there must be something in the water in Lubbock that makes truly talented human beings. Terry Allen included among the long list great talented musicians

[NoahClevinger]

Music sung straight from the heart. It doesn't get much better than this.

[cliveturner]

Absolutely bloody brilliant, if you don't love Terry A;en you can kiss my ass.

[hansg]

The singer/songwriters here (like Allen) are part of the love in my love/hate relationship with Texas.
