Texas Tommy Lyrics by Post-Nuclear

Left Overs

2022

[VERSE]
There was a boy way down from Texas
The name was "Tommy", "Texas Tommy"
Now here's the story
[VERSE]
His mom and his papa
Sat him on down
"Wipe that damn frown off your face"
Have this guitar, put it in its place
"C'mon boy, play it!"
[VERSE]
"You're gonna be a legend!"
"Might as well make it last for good"
He sat down and played all day and night
Trying to get better with all his might
He'll lose his fear before he loses his might
[VERSE]
Whatever it is, he played like a madman
Women all around, they couldn't resist
So he loaded up, went on the road
Under the Name...
"Texas Tommy"!
[VERSE]
But that wasn't it
You can't assume
It was where he was from
Not from a damn gun
But, he's a killer
A criminal genius
Of the rhythm and blues
[BRIDGE]
"Play it, boy!"
[VERSE]
Went around the world
He met some greats
Had a great run, 'til he lost his fun
And he met his fate with a gun of his kind
Whose name was Tommy, "Tommy Gun"
[VERSE]
Got up real close
Put it up his nose
Sprayed the walls
Which made him toast
[INSTRUMENTAL BRIDGE]
[VERSE]
Now that's the legend
Of Texas Tommy
Who met his fate
With a gun of his kind
[VERSE]
Would you spare me a cent?
Or the time of day?
I told you this story, all I had to say
When you're going around
Playing with fire and guns
Remember the name
Remember the game
Texas Tommy, without any shame
[VERSE]
So play on and on
Don't go on the run
Or else you'll meet up
With the same old Tommy
Tommy Gun
[VERSE]
That's all folks!
I gotta go!
That's all I know
Is when to go
