Lyrics
You ask me how I'm doing
I say better than before
The corporate crazy grind
Has washed away
And since I have some free time
To remember who I am
So let me drop a message
And say:
We're still alive and living in Texas
Here's a picture in the back yard with the dogs
We're still alive and living in Texas
Just old folks livin' high on the hog
They said it would be boring
We'd miss the corporate groove
But we have had enough
Of cube farm life
We're into new adventures
But we miss the ones we love
So, join us on a vacation
From strife
Chorus
Working for the man was uninspiring
I felt as if my soul was stuck in chains
Dealing with the whims of corporate stooges
Who everybody knew had shit for brains
But I am here to say that we survived it
And managed to come out the other end
We are thriving here in Texas
Some on and visit my friend
