Ain't No Saguaro In Texas Lyrics


Reverend Horton Heat Ain't No Saguaro In Texas


There's somethin' that's been buggin' us Texans,
And it's time that we set the record straight.
Concerning a species of cacti,
That grows in a whole different state.

The cactus in question's called Saguaro,
it's tall with big arms in the air,
and if you ever travel to Texas,
I'm sorry but you won't see them there. (No!)

Hollywood and misinformed artists,
made the Saguaro a Texas icon.
But the Saguaro only grows in Arizona,
where people got 'em out on their lawn.

I love the Sonoran desert,
I'll bet people there are glad I'm tellin' you,
that the Saguaro only grows in Arizona,
and part of northern Mexico too.

There ain't no Saguaro in Texas,
It's not the kind of cactus we got.
But somehow we're stuck with this image,
and changin' it is gonna take a lot.

Folks in Mexico and Arizona,
are probably glad that I have cleared the air.
There ain't no Saguaro in Texas,
but we sure got a lot of prickly pear.

Yes it's true that we got a lot of desert,
but we've got a lot of piney forest too,
Hundreds of miles of beaches,
Hollywood just doesn't have a clue.

There's prickly pear cactus in Texas,
Nopalitos are sure good with eggs.
Boots are required footwear,
So cactus needles won't stick your legs.

Long horns and blue bonnet flowers,
Live oak trees and great barbeque,
Rat tail and coral cactus,
Mesquite trees and peyote too. Yee-haw!

There ain't no Saguaro in Texas,
It's not the kind of cactus we got.
But somehow we're stuck with this image,
and changin' it is gonna take a lot.

Folks in Mexico and Arizona,
are probably glad that I have cleared the air.
There ain't no Saguaro in Texas,
but we sure got a lot of prickly pear.
