Eagle Ford Songtext
von John Baumann

Every immigrant town down here
Seems to grow a little every day
More and more are coming
Coming down south Texas way
You can see this place from space now
For sore eyes, it′s a sight
We got the water tower, the camper van
The waving flag at night

You gotta get you a room, get you a board
Go on down to that Eagle Ford
They got the milk and they got the honey
They got lots and lots of money, my Lord


If you're a blue collar boy
We gonna get you in a slicker suit
For all you white collar women
How ′bout a company car and a room
You don't need a hearing aid
To hear that southland boom
You just pack your bags wherever you are
And you lie down for the fume

You gotta get you a room, get you a board
Go on down to that Eagle Ford
They got the milk and they got the honey
They got lots and lots of money, my Lord

Well I've been strapped in up in San Antone
Trying to get a really good start
But you can′t do jack these days
With a degree in the liberal arts
Given the economy I need to make a few dollars
Make a few cents, don′t you
Know I'm getting pretty darn sick and tired
Of living with my parents

I wanna get me a room, get me a board
Go on down to that Eagle Ford
They got the milk and they got the honey
They got lots and lots of money


Gotta get you a room, get you a board
Go on down to that Eagle Ford
They got the milk and they got the honey
They got lots and lots of money, my Lord
My Lord
My Lord
My Lord

Get you a room, get you a board
Go on down to that Eagle Ford
They got the milk and they got the honey
They got lots and lots of money, my Lord
