Album: LA Woman ( 1970) License This Song songfacts ® artistfacts I want to tell you 'bout Texas radio and the big beat Comes out of the Virginia swamps Cool and slow with plenty of precision With a back beat narrow and hard to master Some call it heavenly in its brilliance Others, mean and rueful of the Western dream
I'll tell you this. No eternal reward will forgive us now for wasting the dawn. I'll tell you 'bout Texas radio and the Big Beat. Soft, driven, slow and mad, like some new language. Now, listen to this, and I'll tell you 'bout the Texas. I'll tell you 'bout the Texas radio. I'll tell you 'bout the hopeless night. Wandering the Western dream.
