London Homesick Blues Home With The Armadillo Meaning

[[Intro]
I’m gonna try to put myself back in that place again

[Verse 1]
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 the Texas sand
You can put up your dukes or you can bet your boots
I’m leavin’ just as fast as I can

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
Well, it’s cold over here in London, daggummit, I swear, I
I wish they would turn the heat on
And where in the world is that English girl
I promised that I would meet on the third floor?
And of the whole damn lot the only friend I got
Is a smoke and a cheap guitar
My mind keeps rollin’ and my heart keeps longing
To be home in a Texas bar
, [Chorus]
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
Show ’em who we mean, boys

[Verse 3]
Well, I decided that I’d get my cowboy hat
And go down to Marble Arch Station
‘Cause when a Texan fancies he’ll take his chances
You know chances will be taken, that’s for sure
And them Limey eyes, they were eyein’ the prize
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

[Chorus]
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
I want everybody here tonight to sing this song
Music from Amarillo and Abilene
The friendliest people and the prettiest women you’ve ever seen
Okay, they got it
, [Interlude]
I can’t hear ya

[Chorus]
The friendliest people and the prettiest women
Let’s do one more for all these good lookin’ people here
Good country music from Amarillo and Abilene
The friendliest people and the prettiest women you’ve ever seen]
