I was born in Beaumont, way down south
Knew how to sing before I opened up the mouth
I banged out the piano, beat up the drums
Got it together for whatever comes
Been blowin' this horn since before I was grown
Texas Tornado on the saxophone

Played all the clubs and most of the bars
Made it up 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
Texas Tornado on the saxophone

They said playin' that horn boy you won't 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
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 gonna be happy for the rest of my life
Keep on playin' this horn till my mind is blown
Texas Tornado on the saxophone
I'm the Texas Tornado
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
Goodnight, it's time to go
