To fight at the Alamo
Sailed to the west
Old Will Travis never told him
Well, the devil had him a guitar too
Robert Johnson went to the crossroads
An' you know the rest
Texas is in Mexico
And it wakes me up sometimes
It's a bloody mess
Yeah, you can be the best
Well, he come down talkin' 'bout a burnin' bush
He said, "Boys, I'm lookin' for India
Hell, this song barely rhymes!
Davy Crockett went out to Texas
I can't get no rest
He's scared to death
But America will do"
Says, "This is how it's gonna be"
Well, this song ain't got no reason
An' you know the rest
Well, it come to me when I was asleep
He says, "This is what you need man"
An' you know the rest
You know the rest
A guitar in his hand
Columbus went down to the ocean in 1492
