I left my home in Texas, headed for the Frisco Bay
And counted a lot of hard times and changes along the way
Now I'm up in Fort Salido, wondering where I ought to be
And I'm wondering what happened to the man inside, the real old Texas bean
Now it's raining in Port Arthur, snowing in Fort Worth town
I used to go back to Palmer's Pool Hall, back there in San Antone
Now I'm up on the Bennett Beach, in the Falcone Road
And I'm wondering where I ought to be
And I'm wondering what happened to the man inside, the real old Texas bean
Standing outside of Houston, not a dime to our home
I used to go back to the beautiful woods, back there in San Antone
Now I'm up in San Francisco, wondering where I ought to be
And I'm wondering what happened to the man inside, the real old Texas bean
