Lyle Lovett - That's Right (You're Not From Texas)

[lamareikan666]

If New York wrote this song they would say "fuck off, New York don't want you anyway".

[leoton83]

Love Lyle! He is from Spring Texas and we are very proud of him here :-)

[purpleandgreen]

Texas wants you anyway!

[CrazyMonkeyTees]

Awesome. A silent genius. Private Conversation grooves me just as good.

[MrPavePaws]

I would love to see LYLE LOVETT stand next to MICHAEL RICHARDS (Cozmo Kramer).

Never expect that voice to come from Lyle.

[realmusicnj]

Looking for the song "On Saturday Night" on YouTube but haven't found any videos. Is it available on here?

[ThelynxAZ]

260,000th view! Almost as good as 1st?!?!?! lol jk

[trayzzj]

the absolutely greatest artist EVER

[californialinchen]

this song is fantastic, but... I like the Cactus Cuties version better :)

[PBlaustein]

Bass player: Viktor Krauss. Alison's brother.

Very tight band IMHO.

[MrPavePaws]

@PBlaustein Is Alison still single?

[tom04curry]

who is that bass player? smokin' hot!

[TheWestchase]

8 people must not be from Texas

[averynicewoman]

Lyle and his Large Band ~ some of the best live performances I have ever seen. If you're a fan of his, try to see one his shows. I guarantee it will be worth your while. Lyle is a gentleman and a scholar, never did figure out what he saw in Julia Roberts...

[TheWombat1138]

Lyle Lovett and the City of Austin are two reasons to love Texas.



[tanguman2]

He may not be the best looking man in the world but he got Julia Roberts and Damned if he aint the pride of Texas Swing music!!!



[demiT147]

Wooo! Texas thumbs up if Texas is your home :)

[reflectionsbyrita]

Just love him - anything he sings.

[tatobaby]

im related to this man!!!

[REClampitt1]

Even Moses got excited when he saw the promised land.

[brt1050]

God I love Texas.

[dennyshonda]

I saw Lyle's show at the Florida Theatre in Jacksonville. Oh My. It was like I was suppose to be there.

[hooeybrown]

that's right, I'm not from Texas. but I sure do enjoy this song! one of his best!

[uhanksterux]

And proud to be a non-texan!!

[demiT147]

@uhanksterux Texas is awesome! :) LOTS OF HISTORY!

[darkcircle169]

thats rght... your not from Texas. So get out of here we dont need you. Screw you, We're from Tx

[guinevere812]

@darkcircle169: Um, what is wrong with you?

[1tahoesky]

"...and she grew smaller, in my mirror as - I watched her wave goodbye.."

[canzop]

I luv this song so much!!

[RoughBoy1056]

Bob Wills would be Proud... 'nuff said.

[kelsielynne100]

TEXAS IS LEGIT(:



[HonRosie6]

the 8 people who dis-liked this (awesome) video must not be from Texas. 

[kabire123489]

that hair is LAID! go 'head Lyle!

[soakupthesun2715]

from "JAWJA" I want me some LYLE! LOVEit!

[grandbbq]

Saw them at the Rialto Sq Theater and they were the tightest band ever.

[littlepunky96]

i love that quote aircondgypsy. ur right...u cant tell us much other than where the beer and women are.

[lonestarpunk]

< native texan here.

[PomMommie]

Yeah Howdy. I wasn't born in Texas, but I got down here as quick as I could! :-)

I know I'm repeating AirCondGypsy, but I feel SOOOO the same way.

[GARYTEXAS]

You never want to ask a man where he's from--cuz ether he's from Texas or you've embarrassed him.

[AircondGypsy]

hey i aint from texas> but I got here as quick as i could!

they say Texans are just mexicans who ran out of gas on the way to oklahoma, in fact they say a lot of things about texas.... Texas aint the kind of place that you can forget about it marks you forever, some better some worse but anyone whos been there has a story to tell about texas till they die.... yep ya can always tell a Texan...juat cant tell 'em much!

[Aggromerchant]

Just one of very many states that would step on Canada.

[thehebrewhoya]

@captain... *you're* not very good with grammar

[DrJanieAnnie]

No Im not...fr Tennessee and love Lyle!

[RoadCaptainEntertain]

@DrJanieAnnie Respect for the Volunteer State!

Crockett and his boys gave us a little help back in 1836 at a place called Mission San Antonio de Valero.

(The Alamo)

[RoadCaptainEntertain]

Envy is a terrible thing!

That's right, your not from Texas!

[dockarnage]

i've lived in texas for 20 years. never got used to the heat. never got used to the suckiness. and the laws here suck as well. fine females here though

[wildcatter63]

@dockarnage Yeah, but they don't actively discourage shooting revenuers and other assorted riff raff

[FraterSoddi]

How do you get to Texas?

You walk west until you smell shit - that's Oklahoma.

Then you turn left and walk south until you step in it - that's Texas.

[ONENIGGER2ANOTHER]

@FraterSoddi Yeah boy you are right...there are piles of Shit in Texas its what we beat out of fucking loudmouth Yankees like you. Come on down and add to the mountain of it you asshole.

[HonRosie6]

The 6 people that disliked this video must not be from Texas.

[dnuosmaerd]

And Matt Rollings on piano. Awesome!

[thomasportermd]

I AM from TEXAS ...

[VRWCcapitalist]

'Cause I sure do understand

Even Moses got excited

When he saw the promised land!

[HonRosie6]

Texas seriously is the best state. It has pretty much every kind of weather and terrain thats out there. Canyons, prarie, ocean, hills, and much much more.

But he's right, even if your not from Texas, you are MORE than welcome here!! So head on down here ya'll!!

;)

[newsy8]

[HonRosie6]

@newsy8

Oh, lol ok!!! :)

Yep, i LOVE it!!

[ErinC918]

What's that song...? When I die, I may not go to heaven. I don't know if they let cowboys in. If they don't, just let me go to Texas. Texas is as close as I've been!

[stealthx00]

@ErinC918 Tanya Tucker, Texas When I Die Lyrics

[SheilaKCox]

Here's to all my fabulous out-of-state relocation clients...especially Darin & Liz: Texas is gonna love y'all!

[DBallFan4Life]

Yeeeeeeeeee Haw! YOU GO LYLE! I luv the subtle mention of my favorite band, UNCLE WALT'S BAND and especially my favorite singer David Ball.

[grandbbq]

This is theeeeeee tightest group you will ever see in your life. Sen them, luv em...

[AgentDarkMario]

Texas is a proud state and im proud to be a Texan

[rubbersole79]

glad as hell I wasn't from Texas when the Vikes embarrassed the shit out of "the boys" in the play-offs this year..............Can't wait for that re-match and see Keith Brookings cry like a baby again.......

[scotthoutx]

I Love Lyle HTX!

[thecathancegroup]

All that talent and a sharp dresser, too!

[devedrine]

Got talent and loads of the three C's - Class, Charisma , and Ceasless dedication

[BreathinHiphop89]

he looks like sideshow bobs brother sessil, How the fuck did this guy pull julia roberts

[wildcatter63]

@BreathinHiphop89 By having talent and CHARM...

[charles43110]

@BreathinHiphop89 one thing to consider, Lyle rides horses, & motorcycles, messes around on his REAL ranch & has a body thats lean, strong & tight as steel.

That might be one sensual attraction. Add that he knows how to be romantic & has his own measure of success including millions of fans & dollars.

[rosalieann100]

@BreathinHiphop89 He's amazingly talented! I've always thought he was incredibly sexy. A smoooooth charmer with a genius musical and lyrical soul.

[turntapzap]

God love him.

[MultiMeli123]

I LOVE you Lyel...even though I'm a yank!

[cheyenne86]

There is no where but TEXAS. The only STATE to be in. Born a Texan will die a Texan. Please let us be the Republic of Texas, alone.

[mdlane3]

@cheyenne86 Amen!!!!!

[DAHNAJ54]

SOOOOOOOOOO in love with this man...He HAS got a way with words

[TheLavish99]

A combination of country and jazz sure makes an awesome song like this.

[karenjeankeller]

i love me some lyle.

[lna0dk]

@karenjeankeller sweet Jesus, who wouldn't!?

[cindyhouston]

I have been to his live show. It is fantastic!

[jboy1142]

Lovett is outstanding;. A must see live.

[cheyenne86]

@jboy1142 I did see lyle lovett in jones hall and he was so outstanding, the BEST

[ktel60]

When on elives on God's Own Country, one tends to have problems only with Pommie Bastids. What other state makes a decent tattoo? Kansas?

[chipjoslin]

Amazing!

[lilyroxmysox]

I used live in Flowermound, Dallas, TX. It's this really little town near Denton. I remember we had to drive a full hour just to get to Costco. Good times, good times. I can tell by the way someone wears their hat or their boots, if they're Texan or not.

[wimpicker54]

AMEN bc78260!!  There's nothing out there like it anywhere.

[pedalhogg]

Lyle and his band are always a world class show! ....I've been to Texas!!

[halomiz]

That's one Large Band!

(lv lyle)

[aland11223]

I'm from TX and now live in Nashville.

[HandCandyMittens]

texas dosnt want you

[bc78260]

Great song written by Alison Rogers Ramsey, Willis Alan Ramsey, & Lyle Lovett. Somewhat different then what we are accustomed to from Willis. But his (Willis) new album Gentilly is going to really make up for all the time you may have waited for his 2nd album.

[Geyla1]

I meant, I watched him this past Monday.

[Geyla1]

Watched him live last week. Wow!! I LOVE his style, his beautiful voice, and his classy band - everyone was spectacular! No surprise his show sold out. In person, he is actually quite endearing. Did you know, he is not so quiet, shy and reserved? Lyle has an adorable sense of humor, never would of guessed or known that. He is also so genuine. Ah.... Oh yeah, love this song, because I"m not from TX.

[Number1StarsFan]

Texas wants you anyway!

[armymen12002003]

isn't the guy playin the fiddle in george strait's band?

[italiano77077]

@armymen12002003 Yep! I think it's Gene Elders - one of the best!

[ice557]

i have a cousin in THIS band.

[MatthewSforcina]

@ice557

Well aren't you lucky!

[ice557]

my son (and parents) had dinner w/ them about a month ago.

[skytrooper5000]

buick reid is my cuz

[Zznnia]

Love that Western Swing music and Lyle!

[shsscar]

Allan Willis Ramsey co-wrote this song with Lovett.

[netw52]

Willis Alan Ramsey wrote this song with his wife, Allison Rogers, for Lyle.

[shsscar]

The second verse is a tribute to the members of Uncle Walt's Band, a band actually from South Carolina who later became associated with the Austin, Texas country music scene. "Those boys from Carolina They sure enough could sing But when they came on down to Texas We all showed them how to swing Now David's on the radio And old Champ's still on the guitar And Uncle Walt he's home with Heidi Hiding in her loving arms" Lovett was a huge fan of Uncle Walt's Band as a college student

[Wrxrtd]

He was on Jools Holland tonight. He sang Bohemia from his new album. Brilliant song!

[simpson30]

He was live on BBC Radio 5Live this afternoon, he didn't sing this but he did sing some great new songs on air.

[WandaMullens]

Want to record Transplant Texan...? Let me know. It would be perfect for you, Lyle. It is posted on the video response.

It was written and performed by Paul Johnson in Rockwall, Texas. We love your music.

[seanth014]

there is no place on the earth that creates more great artists...God Bless Texas!! thank you.

[SupremoHumberto]

Except for Nashville Tenesee

[asmodeon]

Nashville is a foul pit that has entirely ruined country.

[SupremoHumberto]

It's pretty hard to ruin a genre that was pretty bad to begin with. With it's exceptions of course, and no offense meant

[miceypoo]

B.S., Louisiana has a higher density of musicians.

All the people on Specialty Records, Louisiana Hayride, Zydeco, Brass Bands, Buddy Guy, etc. We are 6 million people, thats like the city Houston and Corpus Cristi producing all those artists.

[SwampDaddy7]

That's why I want to live RIGHT on the Louisiana/Texas border. That way I got the best of both and no Nashville worries.

[JustaDylan]

Nashville is in Tennessee.

[SwampDaddy7]

Hence why I ain't living there and being a musician.

[jstandley]

Houston alone has like over 5 million people and corpus only 300,000

[SwampDaddy7]

Wow. Bit population split, huh?

[eatont9999]

God bless the great Lone Star State!!!

[SecurityIsLame]

OMG, I want to kareoke the shit out this song...

[louisbunch]

lyle lovett is awsome lol

[hjhgymnast]

cactus cuties sings this awesomeee

[dwood520]

Hey - He nailed Julia Roberts!

[VP765]

this guy reminds me of rorcarch from the watchmen comics

[DontmesswiththeUSA]

God Bless Texas!!

[laughnatthesefoolz]

mess with texas

[farnelli45]

I aw Lyle with Guy Clark, John Hiat, and Joe Elie (sp) together on stage taking turns playing solo and with each other.GREATEST SHOW I EVER ATTENDED!!!!!! (front row)

[jmay2002]

Now that would be a concert!

[blondekitty89]

I saw that tour, it was amazing! But he's even better with the Large Band. I've seen them like 4 or 5 times (and I'm 19). Oh, and it's Ely.

[insure2020]

I've seen Lyle numerous times--(I lost count at 8)

He is always supported by top-notch musicians.

Do yourself a favor...and go see him next time he's in your area. You won't regret it.

[jedwards1975]

wow! I thought 4 was a lot. lol

[aland11223]

TX MEX is wonderful, but when you move to TN, you don't find it...anywhere out here

[Talcioc2008]

My Favourite Song is i will rise up, He is great.

[texasbarbeque]

Note my handle. best beer shiner bock.. best barbeque.. Goode Co. in Houston Texas best damn state in the union. Period

[scotthoutx]

So True!!! I live in dallas now, I miss Houston so much!!!! Shiner, Goode Co. they are the Best!

[agentnuzzy]

This was my first favorite song when I was little that wasn't something along the lines of the itsy bitsy spider or anything.

I think I played the tape in our old caprice over 100x.

[goatboyrising]

Lyle is the best songwriter alive right now. Period, full stop, no question.

[letsgocubs13]

Bob Dylan.

[goatboyrising]

I love Dylan, don't get me wrong. Lyrically he is the best, but musically no one holds a candle to Lyle.

[JohnnyContagious]

Lyle is great, but Van Morrison, Randy Newman, Elvis Costello and Paul McCartney operate on a musical plane that he will never reach.

[chunkdoors]

McCartney is cack,John Lennon wrote Imagine and he wrote the frog chorus and spies like us and you still think he walks on water!Pontiac is one of the greatest album's ever!Hope your attitude isn't contagious,the Beatles are so overrated!!!!

[chunkdoors]

All the Beatles were shit,some shitter than others!

I am a Damned fan and proud of it!And no my name doesn't refer to the size of my arse,it's an anagram of Rock Hudson who was another gay american like you!!!!

[fofofo48]

You are brain damaged.

[JohnnyContagious]

You are old.

[FinalXFantasyXaC]

That's right - YOU'RE NOT FROM TEXAS! WOO HOO!!!!!

[burtcondi]

this is a music video; if you don't like music, do something else; if you don't like lyle, do a search on "miley"; if you don't like texas, to quote lyle "son, why don't you just go on home"....

[dthompson214]

He is good live

[beadbitch01]

this music is so good...to see him live is even better!!

[daviedmx38]

Texas....Isn't that the capital of Mexico? lol

[fdballer50]

texas is the capital of the universe.

[TheMadamqueen2u]

@fdballer50 Lol! 

[newsy8]

@fdballer50

well sed ; )

[juandepareja1]

hey im from houston. anyone else in that black out? my laptop is gonna die soon

[Faztlan]

TEXAS!! 72 oz Steaks, Forest, Desert, Flatlands,Mountains,Beaches,gr­een valleys,and pretty girls all in one state! TEXAS Flag only State flag in U.S that can Fly at equal hieght as the United States Flag! Our State Capitol building is Larger than the U.S capitol building! The only State that can become its own nation at any point!! Shit bigger than France England, Germany, Iraq....Cmon Its TEXAS!!!!!

[thamuddler]

honestly the only thing special about Texas, is that its 'Texas'. the topography is only interesting in the Big Bend. this coming from a native... but hey a good song.

[Faztlan]

Its bigger and Better in TEXAS!!!

[Honker66]

I lived in Houston for years, and vacation when I can. We've got a sayin' "You can always tell a Texas, but you can't tell him much!"

[4L60E]

you say that like it's a bad thing

[alisonnicole84]

I'm moving back to Texas in 7 days...there is no place like it on earth and I can't wait to get back!

[phyllodough]

yep ... that's right.

[phyllodough]

nor florida, michigan, missouri, new mexico, wisconsin ... correct not even california, however Thanks be to whatever I'll even take my Tennesee over texas!

[aurzada]

Saw Lyle playing at The Backyard in Austin, TX on a rainy day about 8 years ago. It was so wet they worried for the safety of the musicians, but he came out and played acoustically for about an hour to a very attentive crowd, and came back the next Monday for a full on 2 hour show. He's as classy as they get. He did "Texas" acoustically, and brought down the house.
