Guy Clark Uncertain Texas Lyrics

Uncertain Texas Lyrics



The crickets are singin' the bluegills been bitin'

The fireflies are flashin' with all of their might

Down on the river ol' Reagan went fishin'

He's layin' for a big one on a full moon lit night



We get high on the lake then we float down the river

Get off on the backroads get lost in the woods

Very deep in the heart of uncertain Texas

I tried hard to leave there but never did good



Tomorrow we're havin' the world's largest fish fry

Eat catfish and crappie till they come out our ears

Have it made in the shade of a sleepy pine thicket

Get covered up in chiggers and drink ten tubs of beer

We get high on the lake..



So give him his guitar and a long legged girl

Moonlight in Texas and a sixpack of Pearl
