Clutch - A Quick Death In Texas Lyrics






My nasty Yankee mannerisms
Didn't jive with the local traditions
How was I to know she had a jealous husband?
He was the GM of a Tractor Supply
Well acquainted with the guns and knives
Sometimes I swear I have less sense than a bag of hammers

I prayed for courage, I prayed for love
I prayed for guidance from the heavens above
I prayed to know divine protections
But now I'm praying for a quick death in Texas
Hey hey
Please forgive me, Mr. Gibbons

I crawled my way into The Doom Saloon
In an attempt to cauterize my wounds
I did a terrible job and they became powerfully infected
I found myself atop a stolen roan
Quite convinced that I would never see home
And all on account of my lack of common manners

I prayed for courage, I prayed for love
I prayed for guidance from the heavens above
I prayed to know divine protections
But now I'm praying for a quick death in Texas

The saloon doors stopped swinging
The piano player stopped playing
In the shadows I could hear Archaic Spanish phrases
The preacher stood up from his table in his right hand he held a bible
And in his left, the business end of a Winchester rifle

I prayed for courage, I prayed for love
I prayed for guidance from the heavens above
I prayed to know divine protections
But now I'm praying for a quick death in Texas

Beaumont, Amarillo, got a line on me
Galveston, El Paso, Nacogdoches, Abilene
Beaumont, Amarillo, got a line on me
Galveston, El Paso, Nacogdoches, Abilene
Beaumont, Amarillo, got a line on me
Galveston, El Paso, Nacogdoches, Abilene
Beaumont, Amarillo, got a line on me
Galveston, El Paso, Nacogdoches, Abilene

  87. h.... k....

    Meine Fresse...die Jungs rocken höllisch

  88. J.... M....

    dude...dude you really shouldnt drink an horse haha..

  89. P.... S....

    Our social studies teacher is in there! He’s with the lady in the pink dress at the beginning.

  90. t.... ....

    I'm glad the band seems into making these videos...I'm entertained!

  91. p.... 1....

    I'm super pissed I discovered these boys in 2019 when they have been around since 2003 (or earlier).

    p.... 1....

    phenom_ 1986 They formed in 1991 or 1990, not sure. First album was released in ‘93, IIRC.

    p.... 1....

    phenom_ 1986 I’ve been listening to them since 93. First two albums are classics

    p.... 1....

    You should go and check out their early stuff. Very different style, much heavier but still unmistakably Clutch. Love their early stuff...and all their stuff. Never been a bad Clutch album. I cant even think of a song I dont like. If it clicks for you, youll probably love it all.

    p.... 1....

    They did some amazing EP's too like Jam room. I literally have every single Clutch album on CD haha. I first heard them in the Game Hitman Blood Money. This song Immortal plays during this level that happens in a strip club. Rendezvous in Rotterdam I think was the level, anyhoo, Immortal is playing while the strippers are , um stripping, and I immediately thought, this is some old biker band but its amazing I must hear more. Then I realized after researching the song that its not old or a biker band but something thats almost indefinable but incredible rock music by a band called CLUTCH. Then I was hooked.

    p.... 1....

    phenom_ 1986 If you ever get a chance to go to one of their concerts, do it! One of the best I’ve been to, and I’ve seen them live 6 times.

  92. E.... D....

    this is what i call a classic yeehaw.

  93. S.... C....

    Neil IS A GODDAMNED AMERICAN TREASURE

  94. p.... ....

    Please forgive me MR. Gibbons

  95. A.... O....

    0:27 lolol its my social studies teacher. 😂

  96. J.... R....

    I'm pretty sure this was the soundtrack to my wet dream

  97. j.... m....

    yawn,,,,

  98. J.... K....

    It’s pretty fun how they shot this at Wild West city in New Jersey.
