Still my favorite... Here's to you, Gary P. Nunn
London Homesick Blues
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 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've 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 Art Station.
'Cause when a Texan fancies, he'll take his chances.
Chances will be taken, that's for sure.
And them Limey eyes, they were eyein' the 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.
Repeat chorus 'til the cows come home.

We live in the Metroplex and one of our sons and his family lives in Lubbock so we're out that way a lot. My wife and I were raised in eastern New Mexico. I loved it out there (the sky just seems a lot bigger) but she prefers the Metroplex.

one of our sons and his family lives in LubbockSo it likely was on the Tohaka Highway, (US 67?). I spent 11 years in Lubbock between my time at Reese AFB and Texas Tech. One of the best places to watch stars. It was also the first place I'd ever been dark enough that you can actually see the Milky Way.

Did you know that Gary Nunn sung L.A. In My Rearview Mirror on Jerry Jeff's album by that name?

I like his music. He's actually a friend of a family member, but I've yet to have the good fortune to meet him. Maybe someday.

Gary's live version of London Homesick Blues on Jerry Jeff's Viva Terlingua album is my favorite.

Actually it Hwy 84. It does get dark out there. I was raised in Lovington, NM. At night out in the country you could see lights of Lovington, Hobbs, Denver City and Seminole. Reminds me of the Guy Clark song,
The Dark. It's got a couple of great lines in it.
"How dark is it?"
"Dark enough to smell the moon."
"How dark is it?"
"So dark you can see Fort Worth from here."

We lived in Plano for a while and just moved to a new house in Rockwall last summer. We may have met at the get-together for JR at Cozymel's last year.

He might have lived across the street from me. There was a party in the house and I went over to get my dog out and they invited me to stay.
It was the promo party for the Los Gonzo band's first album. About all I remember is sharing a bottle of mescal with an old wino. I didn't know he was Willie Nelson until the next evening when the lady who lived there thanked me for taking care of his girlfriend. But that was Austin in the 70s.

Yup, sounds like the Austin that I remember. Grew up in Victoria, not far from there. Visited a friend one weekend, the first night 3 raccoons opened his screen door, came in and proceeded to eat some dogfood in his kitchen.
Turns out, they were regulars. I REALLY needed another beer after that.
