Verse 1 Oh, its hot in Texas About as hot as it can get Mesquite trees and cactus Are trying hard not to sweat Over yonders that old paisano Hes hunting him a bit of shade But the tadpoles in the cow trough Man, they sure got it made Buried under that cool green moss Down where the sun dont shine Cool in the hottest weather Man, theyre cool all the time Chorus 1 Oh, Id like to join them Wonder if there is room For a tired and sweaty old cowboy Tadpoles make some room Verse 2 Oh, my burdens heavy I carry such a mighty load Up above soars an eagle I wonder if he knows What Id give to trade with him Go where he goes I wonder if that old eagle knows What Id give to know the heights he knows Chorus 2 Oh, Id like to join him Wonder if there is room For a tired and sweaty old cowboy Eagle make some room Verse 3 Some day will come a blue norther Big wind and lots of rain Id love to be like a grand blue norther Blow away all my pain Id let it all out in one mighty big breath Dump my tears on the plains Yeah, Id love to be like a grand blue norther Blow away all my pain Chorus 3 Oh, Id like to join him I wonder if there is room For a tired and sweaty old cowboy Norther make some room
