Max Stalling – Tadpoles & Eagles lyrics

Verse 1:
Oh, it's hot in Texas
About as hot as it can get
Mesquite trees and cactus
Are trying hard not to sweat
Over yonder's that old paisano
He's 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 don't shine
Cool in the hottest weather
Man, they're cool all the time

Chorus 1:
Oh, I'd like to join them
Wonder if there is room
For a tired and sweaty old cowboy
Tadpoles make some room

Verse 2:
Oh, my burden's heavy
I carry such a mighty load
Up above soars an eagle
I wonder if he knows
What I'd give to trade with him
Go where he goes
I wonder if that old eagle knows
What I'd give to know the heights he knows

Chorus 2:
Oh, I'd 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
I'd love to be like a grand blue norther
Blow away all my pain
I'd let it all out in one mighty big breath
Dump my tears on the plains
Yeah, I'd love to be like a grand blue norther
Blow away all my pain

Chorus 3:
Oh, I'd like to join him
I wonder if there is room
For a tired and sweaty old cowboy
Norther make some room
