Texans pay for your earthquakes, land slides and fires.

If Texas is so terrible, why are so many Californians moving here? Hmmm?

Could it be because

We don’t have a state income tax because OIL.
Homes here are cheaper.
Gasoline is cheaper.
Burritos are better.
Tacos are much better.
We have Willie.

Paradise, lost and found
Paradise, take a look around
I was out in California where I hear they have it all
They got riots, fires, mud slides
They've got sushi in the mall
Water bars, brontasaurs, chinese modern lust
Shake and bake life with the quake
The secret's in the crust
Fruitcakes in the kitchen (fruitcakes in the kitchen)
Fruitcakes on the street (fruitcakes on the street)
Struttin' naked through the crosswalk
In the middle of the week
Half-baked cookies in the oven (cookies in the oven)
Half-baked people on the bus (people on the bus)
There's a little bit of fruitcake left in everyone of us
