Uncertain Texas Guy Clark

[Verse 1: Guy Clark]
The crickets are singin', the bluegills been bitin'
And the fireflies are flashin' with all of their might
And down on the river old Reagan went fishin'
He's layin' for a big 'un on a full moonlit night

[Chorus: Guy Clark & Rodney Crowell]
We get high on the lake and then we float down the river
Get off on the backroads, get lost in the woods
Very deep in the heart of Uncertain, Texas
I tried hard to leave there, but never did good

[Verse 2: Rodney Crowell]
Tomorrow we're havin' the world's largest fish fry
Eat catfish and crappie till they come out our ears
Have it made in the shade of a sleepy pine thicket
Get covered up in chiggers and drink ten tubs of beer

[Chorus: Guy Clark & Rodney Crowell]
We get high on the lake and then we float down the river
Get off on the backroads, get lost in the woods
Very deep in the heart of Uncertain, Texas
I tried hard to leave there, but never did good

[Outro: Guy Clark & Rodney Crowell]
So give him his guitar and the long-legged girl
Moonlight in Texas and a six-pack of Pearl
