OH TEXAS

I stepped my feet into Texas ,
I said Lubbock here I come,
I saddled up my horse,
And I holstered my dear gun.

I started on my journey,
  A Dr Pepper in my hand,
I can taste those 23 flavors,
Making me feel like I’m the man.

Well I passed by this nice ranch today,
And the cows they looked so fine,
And my lasso hand got to twitchin’ ,
Then just one thing went trough my mind.

Don’t be stealin’ cattle,
Cause its gonna get you hanged,
So I continued on my journey,
Listenin to the armadillo sing!

OH TEXAS you got me,
Wanting you so bad,
I could ride this horse for hours,
It’s the best time I ever had.

I got to thinking about my poppa,
Back in 1883,
He created that first rodeo,
To provide for momma and me.

As I was thinking about my past,
I ran into governor Perry,
He said he’d been prayin,
Which was quite the ordinary.

OH TEXAS you do,
Everything so big,
Even the Tyler Municipal Rose Garden,
Is extra super big.

OH TEXAS….

-- Meat, 2008

Jimmy Bob Bodine never really considered himself a spiritual man, however, he loves politics and wants to run for Governor of Texas. 

Can he?  Why or why not?

Jimmy Bob Bodine can not run for political office in Texas because he "must believe in a supreme being".
