| Well my little brother’s raising hell
 | 
| Living down in Texas
 | 
| He probably ought to be in jail
 | 
| From the stories that he tells us
 | 
| Of whiskey nights and rodeos
 | 
| The strippers down in Austin
 | 
| He’s had himself some real good times
 | 
| If he could just recall them
 | 
| Now his money’s running low and there’s a job in his future
 | 
| And it’s looking like his rambling days are done
 | 
| Now’s he’s sizing up his choices and a job just ain’t one
 | 
| He’ll know which way to run
 | 
| As for you and winter, it may be cold
 | 
| But that don’t stop the rain
 | 
| The holes up in your roof
 | 
| Make keeping dry a losing game
 | 
| The stairwell’s always wet
 | 
| But your wondering if my
 | 
| Tears will dry up in your crying eyes
 | 
| Now that boy, he’s coming home
 | 
| But that just ain’t that good for you
 | 
| Starting in then long ago
 | 
| You know that much is true
 | 
| So dry your eyes
 | 
| And say goodbye
 | 
| Because he just ain’t the one
 | 
| Decide which way to run
 | 
| Gonna to decide which way to run
 | 
| As for me, the same old shit
 | 
| Is putting me on down
 | 
| I never been quite able
 | 
| To pick myself up off the ground
 | 
| Always got big plans
 | 
| But they’re always in the works
 | 
| And I swear they’ll pay off
 | 
| If my love don’t get out first
 | 
| Well here I am again
 | 
| I don’t know if I’m right
 | 
| But I can tell you that I’m having fun
 | 
| So I give him one more shot
 | 
| Because this race, it ain’t quite done
 | 
| I hit the ground and run
 | 
| Gonna to hit the ground and run
 | 
| Gonna decide which way to run
 | 
| Gonna to hit the ground and run
 | 
| And my little brother’s raising hell
 | 
| Living down in Texas |
