(Verse 1)
Well, Wile E. packed his bags, thought he’d try his luck,
Left Arizona roadrunners in the dust, no fuss.
But he hit the Lone Star State, where the birds don’t run,
Texas Birds, they use guns, then they dance and have their fun.
(Chorus)
Texas roadrunners are just plain “high plains” killers!
They’ll kill your cattle, then hand you the bill.
They don’t fly, but they sure will make ya a steer,
Leave you stranded, sippin’ on your tears.
Might see one in the city, but they won’t wave,
Texas roadrunners bring coyotes to early graves.
(Verse 2)
Wile E. thought he’d lure him with a BBQ spread,
But the pitmaster grinned and shook his head.
“Son, you’re in Texas now, so here’s the drill—”
The roadrunner got free ribs, and Wile E. got the bill!
(Chorus)
Texas roadrunners are just plain killers!
They’ll kill your cattle, then hand you the bill.
They don’t fly, but they sure will make ya a steer,
Leave you stranded, sippin’ on your tears.
Might see one in the city, but they won’t wave,
Texas roadrunners bring coyotes to early graves.
(Bridge)
Wile E. bought a Texas map, thought he’d try to stay,
But every corner said, “Don’t mess with Texas, or you’ll pay.”
The tumbleweeds here move faster than him,
Even the chickens don’t let ol’ Wile E. win.
(Verse 3)
After three chases, the sheriff gave the bird a star,
Now Wile E.’s chances don’t go very far.
A roadrunner with a badge, bolo tie, and a grin,
Coyote’ll be in prison before the chase can begin!
(Chorus)
Texas roadrunners are just plain killers!
They’ll kill your cattle, then hand you the bill.
They don’t fly, but they sure will make ya a steer,
Leave you stranded, sippin’ on your tears.
Might see one in the city, but they won’t wave,
Texas roadrunners bring coyotes to early graves.
(Outro)
So if you’re thinkin’ ‘bout chasin’ birds down south,
You better watch your step, or shut your mouth.
‘Cause Texas roadrunners, well they don’t play,
They’ll do ya in quick and be gone the next day!
The Arizona coyote ambled into Texas, all bold,
But the roadrunners here, well, they’re stone cold.
Laid to rest by a bird too quick to see,
The tombstone reads: “Killed in Texas, R.I.P.
Wile E. Coyote thought he was all tough on TV.
Texas roadrunners are plain “high plains” killers!
Rest in Peace, Wile E. Coyote
