Lyrics
I was born in San Antone
I was born in San Antone
I guess that's why I'm a pinche gringo
I was born in San Antone
When I was younger but I was oh so very bold
Everyone told me to never leave home
I said I'm sorry but I got to go
I was born in San Antone
Went South to boys town, caught the donkey show
San Marcas, Midland and Arlingtone
Things got real weird out Houston
Guess it's cuz I'm from San Antone
Out in Denver, man, they get too stoned
Women in Portland are just skin and bone
LA, Nashville, New York know
When you were born in San Antone
Made it to Europe by way of a boat
Stranded in Dublin without no coat
Somebody asked me where you comin from, bloak?
I come from San Antone
Sped right through Paris, Prague and Rome
Drank red wine till the blood rattled my bones
Lost my direction, ten times alone
Too far from San Antone
Found myself down a deep, dark road
Empty pockets and a westbound soul
When I heard something on the radio
Sounded kinda like San Antone
It had deep blues roots, and a vox organ
A groovy shaker, and a tex mex tone
It sang she's about a mover and I was gone
Back home to San Antone
We got sir Doug, Flacco, and the Sunglos
The Buthole surfers and Bongo Joe
Ozzy Osbourne pissin on the Alamo
I was born in San Antone
The Sex Pistols played a lendgenery gig at Randy's rodeo
Joe "the godfather Anthony" was DJ'n on the radio
Ram opened Taco Land
Right here in San Antone
You might live in Leon Vally or China Grove
The South side, West side or Olomos
Alamo heights or Stone oak
If you were born in San Antone
You might know about Avery Johnson,
Or George Gervin, Tim Duncan, Matt Bonner, or the Admiral
Maybe you were in the Alamo Dome for the Memorial Day Miracle
If you were born in San Antone
You might work at USAA or Valero
HEB, Bill Miller, Clear Channel
Frost Bank, Rackspace, Santikos
If you were born in San Antone
You might have danced with the devil at El Camaroncito
Or maybe you personally know El Rey Feo
Or maybe you've been to Hogwild and bought a Morrissey record
If you were born in San Antone
You might eat:
Lengua, Nopalitos, Menudo
Bacon egg cheese tacos with a side of PICO
EL Pastor onions cilantro
Make it over easy on huevos rancheros
Carne guisada, queso fresco
Barbacoa y chicharron
Cheese enchiladas con barracho
Flauta, chalupa, special nachos
Guacamole salad with my puffy tacos
I was born in San Antone
Yeah
