Why do people leave Texans?

Seems there are a lot of songs...

"All my exes live in Texas", for example.

They leave the Texans because they are FIRED after yet another horrible start and mismanagement of the team's best players.

Christine didn't like that name. I thought it was appropriate.

"I plan to spend all weekend in the hottest part of Texas."

"I'm going down to the hottest part of Texas tonight."

Yeah, it works.

You hold this piece of glass to the light coming through the door
Its a prism glass I found it on the road, can you see that tiny rainbow?
Its not really a prism I guess, it just kind of broke a funny way
I was on my way through Houston, headed for LA

Years ago I had a girl friend who was from Texas... Nice lady with big hair and a voice to match.

She went back home. I still see her occasionally on Faceplant.
