Texas Tornado Lyrics

By Edgar Winter

I was born in Beaumont, way down south
I knew how to sing before I opened up my mouth
I banged out the piano and beat up the drums
Got it together for whatever comes
Been blowin' this horn since before I was grown
The Texas tornado on the saxophone
Played all the clubs and most of the bars
Made it to Woodstock with all the stars
They said we were wanted dead or alive
But we had a good time and that's no jive
I can make it wail, I can make it moan
The Texas tornado on the saxophone

They said playin' that horn boy you wont get far
Why don't you learn to sing and maybe play guitar
But I kept on playin' that rock 'n' roll
'Cause I never could do what I've been told
Now I'm takin' it out to the twilight zone
The Texas tornado on the saxophone
Some people live for fortune and fame
But i say love is the name of the game
I love my music, I love my wife
I'm gona be happy for the rest of my life
Keep playin' this horn till my mind is blown
The Texas tornado on the saxophone

I'm the Texas Tornado
(Texas Tornado)
Gettin' down way low
(Gettin' down way low)
I'm the Texas Tornado
Listen to the way I blow
I'm the Texas Tornado
(Texas Tornado)
Hotter than a volcano
(Than a volcano)
I'm the Texas Tornado
Listen to the way I blow

I'm the Texas Tornado
(Texas Tornado)
People all say so
(People all say so)
I'm the Texas Tornado
Good-night it's time to go
