Story of a gay man stuck in Texas.

lyrics

GAY IN TEXAS (by Scott Mickelson)

Fix a flat, spare's in back
I'm thinking that you don't want to be gay in Texas
Stuck outside, Central Supply
And wondering why you'd want to be gay in Texas
Rhode Island plates, I made my big escape
But now I'm in tough shape
And I don't want to be gay in Texas
Still in Elena, two misdemeanors
They took me to the cleaners and I sure don't
Want to be gay in Texas.

I saw a black tear shaped tatoo
On a face that reminds me of you
There's no room for escape here
I'll be home late dear
I'll text you if it's unclear.

Born with a condition, there's no medication
It seems I'm in remission
And I don't want to be gay in Texas
Like a white convention, no need for distinction
I'm in danger of extinction
And I sure don't want to be gay in Texas
