Surely you guys have heard the live version of this one, right? He says in the middle of the song that he was roommates with Lyle Lovett at college station and they lived their young adult years right there on that front porch. The first time I heard this song, it wasn't from Robert Earl Keen, it was sitting around a bonfire with a dude that was from Texas who loved Robert Earl Keen and played this on his guitar and sang it everytime we had a party. I thought it was an awesome song, though I never really understood it (especially the enchiladas), 'till I heard the live one where REK explained it all there to the crowd in the middle of the song. Great, great tune (and I've never even been to Texas).
