Planet Texas

They rode in like they were Rangers coming down from the skies
They had high-tech horses with lights shining in their eyes
My gun was cocked and ready when I looked into their face
I saw they weren't just regular cowboys born of the human race
No, sir, these cowboys came from space

Their guns shot laser beams and their spurs were anodized
Bandanas covered in stardust and their jeans were pressurized
Well, he handed me a halter, said, "Tighten up the girth."
But before I hit the saddle, we were miles above the Earth.
And I mean MILES above the Earth

Yippie-aye-ay-e

I saw London, Paris, Budapest, Kashmir, and Tokyo
And there ain't no sight like a desert night looking down on Mexico
To the moons of Mars and Jupiter, 'round Saturn's rings we rode
Past the frozen plains of Pluto where even the sunshine's cold
Man, I do mean COLD

Then our interstellar stallions sailed through the starless void
There was nothing to miss in that emptiness, not even a stray asteroid
So we picked up the trail of a comet tail, man, you can't even DREAM that far
And the galloping beat like the rhythm of an old catgut guitar
Just the strumming of a distant star

Yippie-aye-ay-e

Well, it could have lasted minutes or a hundred thousand years
When they got me down, I was safe and sound and it hadn't even popped my ears
And they reared back on their broncos and they shot a bolt of light
I knew they were the good guys, yes, sir, you got it right
'Cause their cowboy hats were white

So I asked 'em as they pulled their reins towards the setting sun
I said, "Before you go, I'd like to know, just where you boys come from?"
Well, they opened up a star chart and said, "Right here where this 'X' is
It's the biggest place in outer space, the planet known as Texas"
