Bigger in Texas - American Aquarium

Well everything’s bigger in Texas

That’s what they said from the start

Ever since I got to Texas

Everything’s fallin' apart

The boys, they’re runnin' on empty

My pockets, they’re doin' the same

That second-hand bar in Arkansas

Is the only thing I can blame

I don’t know what I can say

Or what else I can know

The closer I get to the city

The further I get from you

(I get from you)

These barstools are where I spend most of my nights

With ghosts of dead cigarettes

These beautiful girls with their strings of pearls

Are no good to help me forget

Back home, I got a lover

A lover that’s too good for me

These late-night calls from the bathroom stalls

I don’t know what I can say

Or what else I can know

The closer I get to the city

The further I get from you

(I get from you)
