lyrics

The first day it’s warm after winter in Texas
Anything becomes an excuse to get out and play
Ask a girl on a date, no one gets rejected
The first day it’s warm after winter in Texas

There’s a strong smell of barbecue for miles around
Sleeves all rolled up and the windows rolled down there’s
Adults on the porch, and kids in the street
First time you’ve seen your poor neighbors in weeks

And we’ll have freeze tag, dirty mags, Six Flags and ice cream
School just got out you hear the kids down the block scream
Drinkin’ liquor in the front yard till they come and arrest us
The first day it’s warm after winter in Texas

All the cowboys and cowgirls start to switch out their clothes
Box up the felt hats there’s no need for those
It’ll be short sleeves and straw till at least late October
Even the cattle are glad winter’s over

Don’t move an inch, there’s a wasp in your hair
Critters and bugs all crawl out from their lairs
Bees in the nest, and snakes in the hole
How do they all seem to know that we’ll have

Freeze tag, dirty mags, Six Flags and ice cream
School just got out you hear the kids down the block scream
Drinkin’ liquor in the front yard till they come and arrest us
The first day it’s warm after winter in Texas
The first day it’s warm after winter in Texas
