Thanks for posting the lyrics (I can't watch videos on this computer)

I love his "Ballad of Charles Whitman"

(Some Kinky Friedman quotes)

"How can you look at the Texas Legislature and still believe in intelligent design?"

"Beauty is in the eye of the beer holder"

"If Willie Nelson had been Rosa Parks, there never would have been a civil rights movement in this country, because he refuses to leave the back of the bus."
