Blind in Texas Lyrics

An El Paso hellhole, I couldn't get much higher
White lightning moonshine, tastes like fire
I drank for free till I couldn't see
I fell on the floor, what I said is


I'm blind in Texas, the lone star is hot tonight
I'm blind in Texas, the cowboys have taken my eyes


I drank Dallas whiskey and lost my mind
Had high-balls in Houston, three for a dime
Everything starts to spin, loaded on gin
I fell out the door, what I said is


I'm blind in Texas, the lone star is hot tonight
I'm blind in Texas, the cowboys have taken my eyes


San Antonio and the West Texas town El Paso
Corpus Christi and Waco, the Yellow Rose is wild


Hey dude, let's party


Raisin hell in Austin just after sundown
When the hoose-gow police decided to come round- they said
"Boy what's the matter with you, what you trying to do?"
I looked at the man and I said


I'm blind in Texas, the lone star is hot tonight
I'm blind in Texas, I'm blind

Blackie wrote this song after being in Texas, I believe Houston for a week doing a gig down there, he absolutely hated how people were and the state in general, and especially the heat. The next week he was in a northern state (possibly Minnesota) and there was a terrible "blinding" blizzard, so he put Texas and the Minnesota blizzard together and came up with "Blind in Texas"

A drinking spree throughout the different towns of Texas. Sounds like something Blackie would have done in the 80s.

I just moved from Texas, and it sucks there. But this song kicks ass!

But I guess when you have a lot of money, and you're a famous rock star, Texas people will be nice to you. They kiss youre ass when it's conveniant for them, so no wonder Blackie liked it so much he wrote a song about it.
