Well, when you're down on your luck
and you ain't got a buck 
in London you're a goner 
Even London Bridge has fallen down 
and moved to Arizona
now I know why 
And I'll substantiate the rumor 
that the English sense of humor 
is drier than the Texas sand 
You can put up your dukes 
and you can bet your boots 
that I'm leavin' just as fast as I can 

I wanna go home with the armadillo 
Good country music from Amarillo and Abilene 
The friendliest people and the prettiest women you've ever seen 

Well it's cold over here, and I swear 
I wish they'd turn the heat on 
And where in the world is that English girl 
I promised I would meet on the third floor 
And of the whole damn lot, the only friend I got 
is a smoke and a cheap guitar 
My mind keeps roamin', my heart keeps longin' 
to be home in a Texas bar

I wanna go home with the armadillo 
Good country music from Amarillo and Abilene 
The friendliest people and the prettiest women you've ever seen 

Well, I decided that, I'd get my cowboy hat 
and go down to Marble Arch Station
'Cause when a Texan fancies, he'll take his chances 
and chances will be takin, now that's for sure
And them Limey eyes, they were eyein' a prize 
that some people call manly footwear 
And they said you're from down South 
and when you open your mouth 
you always seem to put your foot there 

I wanna go home with the armadillo 
Good country music from Amarillo and Abilene 
The friendliest people and the prettiest women you've ever seen 

I wanna go home with the armadillo 
Good country music from Amarillo and Abilene 
The friendliest people and the prettiest women you've ever seen
