[Verse 1]
G
Well when you're down on your luck and you ain't got a buck
   D
In London, you're a goner.

Even London Bridge has fallen down
    G                            C
And moved to Arizona, now I know why

And I'll substantiate the rumor that the English sense of humor
   G
Is drier than the Texas sand
        Em                            Gaug/B
You can put up your dukes, or you can bet your boots
        D
But I'm leavin' just as fast as I can.


[Chorus]
             C             C/B    Am
I want to go home with the Armadilla'
             C                D           G
Good country music from Amarilla' and Abilene
                C                        D                 G
The friendliest people and the prettiest women you've ever seen.


[Verse 2]
           G
Well, it's cold over here, and I swear
  D
I wish they'd turn the heat on

And where in the world is that English girl
  G                                  C
I promised I would meet on the third floor

And of the whole damn lot the only friend I got
     G
Is a smoke and a cheap guitar
   Em                        Gaug/B
My mind keeps rollin' and my heart keeps yearnin'
       D
To be home in a Texas bar.


[Chorus]
             C             C/B    Am
I want to go home with the Armadilla'
             C                D           G
Good country music from Amarilla' and Abilene
                C                        D                 G
The friendliest people and the prettiest women you've ever seen.

       G
Well I decided that I'd get my cowboy hat
    D
And go down to Marble Arch Station
              D
'Cause when a Texan fancies he'll take his chances
      G                           C
Chances will be taken, that's for sure

And them Limey eyes, they were eyein' the prize
     G
Some people call manly footwear
               Em
And they said "You're from down South"
             Gaug/B
And when you open your mouth
     D
You always seem to put your foot there.


[Chorus]
             C             C/B    Am
I want to go home with the Armadilla'
             C                D           G
Good country music from Amarilla' and Abilene
                C                        D                 G
The friendliest people and the prettiest women you've ever seen.
