Kenny Rogers Planet Texas Lyrics

Planet Texas Lyrics

Planet Texas 





They rode like they was Rangers as they came out of the skies

They had High-Tech horses with beacons in their eyes

My gun was cocked and ready when I looked into their face

I seen they just weren't just common buck-a-roos born of the human race

No, sir, these Cowboys came from space



Their shootin' irons shot laser light and their spurs was anodized

Bandanas caked with stardust and their jeans was 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 seen 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 strummin' 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 was White



So I asked 'em as they pulled their reins towards the settin' 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"



Yippie-aye-ay-e

Yippie-aye-ay-e

Yippie-aye-ay-e

Yippie-aye-ay-e
