I gotta move to L.A. so you know I'm going to miss Texas. Then, God willing, we are retiring in London. I already miss Texas. I will always visit Texas as long as I can walk to get on a plane.
I love Texas, born in upstate new York but spent a lot of time in west Texas in the military , I want to go home with the armadillo, friendliest people and the prettiest woman I've ever seen.....
Gary P. Nunn and of course, JJ Walker,' Time has neither diminished nor tarnished this song. Pure Freaking Genius. Both of ya. Thank you for posting this song.
Your great and i love your song but gee i really miss Mr JJW. Saw you guys in Melbourne roughly about 40 years ago., Really sad that Australia missed that concert in Melbourne . Only about 200 people there. Fuck me you guys were the most electric band i ever ever had the privilege to see. We may have been present BUT you guys were in your own world just played for your selves.. So into your zones . What a privalige it was to the 200 or so people present. In love wth JJW before we left the concert. Would have left my husband that night for him. Miss him and you guys so much.
Texas expat here. I do not miss the endless sprawl of Houston and Dallas Ft. Worth, but I often go back to the Hill Country and the endless South Texas Beaches. When I miss Texas, I sing this song and Patsy Cline.
Jerry Jeff Walker's music takes me back to Texas when my sister lived there. The dive bars were something to remember. I never did get the hang of the two-step, though.
amen! to all! I'm here in Tennessee, wishing I was back in Texas! For the 10th year we went to Willie's July 4 picnic, and back to Luckenbach, say what you will, Luckenbach is magical! It restores my soul every time! Go to the true home of the Armadillo, visit the Texas Hill Country, you'll leave 10 years younger and your faith in humanity will be restored!
Grew up in same town as Gary. Got in a fight with his brother once. Saw Gary and Jerry play at Celebrity Theatre in Phoenix long ago. Gary is 3-4 yr older than me. RIP Jerry Jeff. RIP Steve Nunn.
Oh, such memories! The most fun we ever had in our lives was living in the Hill Country in the 1970s. Armadillo World Headquarters, Luckenbach, Floores' Country Store in Helotes....and the lovely, gorgeous Guadalupe River. This makes me homesick, too, and for a place that isn't there anymore.
Many Moons ago, roughly 25 hundred probably, while residing at the "Armadillo Farm" located a J away from lovely Luckenbach along 1376, I took an Irish Gal i met @ Luckenbach over to the Albert Ice House one beautiful evening. On our return to "The Farm" while loudly singin' along with this particular song spinnin' in my CD player, I accidentally hit & killed an Armadillo. It still haunts me. One day, I'll have a pet Armadillo named "Terry Allen" & he shall be treated like a King. I do not wanna hear that b.s. bout them carrying diseases. Oooo, that Irish gal woke up the next morning & said was her grandest Texas experience. She was crushed when I informed her I was an Ohio Boy. God Bless Jerry Jeff! "Hondo Still Cries"
That's okay, it just shows there are much fewer of us that have taste and recognize talent. I've seen Jerry Jeff, Gary, Billy Joe Shaver, Delbert McClinton, etc etc....many many times in small personal venues with every seat filled by good people. If they were a huge arena type acts, I would have never have the memories I enjoy now. Some of life's greatest pleasures and treasures should be shared and enjoyed by a select few that understand and truly deserve it. You're blessed you are one of them
I miss Texas SO much . People can say what they want , put us down and trash us - but I will always be proud that I grew up in Texas. Great memories that will never die..................
snottyxraygirl Fear not! You can always come home,every things the same(some transplants are weird)but mostly the same! We still don't take shi-! PS.From just about anyone!!
Greatest Texas country song ever wrote!!! Remember in Tenn. the cry about women leaving, and in Texas they tell them dont come back !!! Give me miles and miles of Texas!!!!
The Amarillo was torn down and replace many years ago. Little by little Austin Texas is turning into a tiny L.A. But change is nothing new. Central Texas has been and will continue to evolve as time goes on. This song makes me homesick even in my hometown.
One of the highlilghts of this vid, is the young girl in the green checked blouse .. Is she having a good time, or what? This is great entertainment at it's very best. Now, they are older, and still rockin' hard!
anyone know who the mighty fine young guitar picker is, who takes a nice turn with a really tasty solo......love the add-lib over the missed chord change!
as an englishman i think this is pretty good nd amusing. he's right the english sense of humour is very dry, and being in London without a penny sucks. Even our great writer george orwell said 'england is a wonderful place to be when you're rich'.
Wow. There are so many absolutely trivial, menial, horrible shitty vids here with millions of views... and genuine, awesome talent like this is only seen 8 thousand times?? Guess I'm lucky.
Love these guys. The only problem with what’s become of Austin Tx. Is if your gonna live in a libtard Berkeley SanFrancisco cali-esque city, you may as well live in Cali where it’s more beautiful and the weathers better. Austin just isn’t Texas enough anymore!!! Glad this music has the power to transport us to a better time!!!!!
I don't care where you are or where you're from this song will make you homesick for Texas.
yup yup
I gotta move to L.A. so you know I'm going to miss Texas. Then, God willing, we are retiring in London. I already miss Texas. I will always visit Texas as long as I can walk to get on a plane.
Not if you DO NOT leave Texas
I love Texas, born in upstate new York but spent a lot of time in west Texas in the military , I want to go home with the armadillo, friendliest people and the prettiest woman I've ever seen.....
You are right about that!
I'm sitting in my house in Pflugerville, Texas right now... and this song STILL made me home sick...

Yes you make a good point in your comment,Hello Vivian how are you doing 👋👋👋👋
I danced at the Armadillo World Headquarters in Austin and think about those by gone days when I hear this wonderful song.
Sam Hopkins Wasn’t the Armadillo World Headquarters the best!!!!
One of my favorite songs from back in the day. Still a sing along song!!!
Growing up in the 70's, I always considered this song as a Texas national anthem...still do.
It's the theme song to Austin City Limts
Will always love Jerry Jeff Walker’s music! R.I.P.
Grew up in same town as Gary. Got in a fight with his brother once. Saw Gary and Jerry play at Celebrity Theatre in Phoenix long ago. Gary is 3-4 yr older than me. RIP Jerry Jeff. RIP Steve Nunn.
I’m from Massachusetts but I really love this song.

My favorite song to listen to when I'm away from home. I must have played it every day on my Iraq deployments.
There should be more of this. This is fun.
absolutely have alwakys considered this one of my alll time favorites since a kid.........luvvvv it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
64 years old, Texas PROUD!!!
Gives me goosebumps. Takes me back.

@theycallyouthebandit: "Terry Allen" is the real name of The Legendary Magnum T.A.!😉🎤🤼♂️B.W.

This could easily be the best song in the world
An American classic.
My favorite tune. RIP JJW
RIP Jerry Jeff

I live in Ohio and spent a week in Kileen a couple of years ago. It was just terrific. The Texas people are polite, friendly and fun.
Gary Tucker Delta Moon
Unfortunately, Texas is changing, too...
Me: I blame it on the Republicans.
A State of Hate and that's coming from an Abilene boy.
Late nightz out at the beach with my family n friends always end with this 😆🙌🏻 + up against the wall no one can leave without knowing every word 😂😂
This reminds me of the jam sessions we played at the Golden Tee in the seventies for some reason. Love it
Viva terilingua, I was there just moved to Texas from California and the California jam, August of 1974 made me a country fan
Rest In Peace jerry jeff.
Good old song , not heard before, Thanks ~ Arthur
I hope Heaven is like this, if not I will be disappointed.
Me too 😘
Good Luck with that.
They say in Texas if you been good all your life when you die you don't go to heaven, you go to Willie's house.
I finally made it to Austin And it feels great
home is where you heart is till it broke
Greatest Texas country song ever wrote!!! Remember in Tenn. the cry about women leaving, and in Texas they tell them dont come back !!! Give me miles and miles of Texas!!!!
This song is the Texas National anthem
10/24/20 - R.I.P. Jerry Jeff
Listening to GaryP is like listening to Prez DonaldJ , mighty pleasing to an ole county boy. Thanks, Boom,Boom!
Yes it’s beautiful and I agree with you,Hello how are you doing 👋👋👋👋👋
The Amarillo was torn down and replace many years ago. Little by little Austin Texas is turning into a tiny L.A. But change is nothing new. Central Texas has been and will continue to evolve as time goes on. This song makes me homesick even in my hometown.
You mean the "Armadillo World"
Armadillo World Headquarters, to be correct.
Austin was a better place to live 45 or 50 years ago...
The best people in the world lived there
You got that right. Austin wasa magical place back then - when it was just plain Austin, not all chi-chi "Austin".and self-consciencly hip.
fuvcking californians and yankees
whenever I ask my mom you know what I want to do she starts to sing the chorus of this song cause she knows I want to go home to Texas
rest in peace JJW
Yes, we are full of ourselves and with very, very good reason!!! :)
A Great one..............
Now that's Homesick!
When I die, I want to go to Texas.. 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Hello how are you doing 👋👋👋👋
I'M PROUD TO BE A NATIVE TEXAN & AMERICAN.
Jerry was one of a kind, RIP Buddy. John Inmon's solo is the shit!
excellent
Gary really sounds good on this. If you’re Texas or Oklahoma you’ll really get this, especially the prettiest women you’ve ever seen.
Totally awsome! "Fun, fun, fun!!"
Dang I love this song!
RIP J.J.W.
The 2nd best Texas song ever written!
Hello Country
my old vagabonding song yea!!
I saw Jerry Jeff in the early 80s. I think he was more sober singing this song.
Lovely comment, Hello How Are you doing👋👋👋👋
waldopepa, that is a GREAT story. Great Memories!
Back in the day, we used to call this progressive country....now we call it classic country....nothing better.
RIP Mr. Walker
VIVA!!
@ Alan C and Russ Litterell: That's John Inmon on lead guitar.
Yes it is.
Thanx so much!!! That makes sense (and is pretty funny). I'll do it that way this Friday at CajunTex restaraunt in Marshall this Friday.
For McK, Forget those sappy love songs, it's about FUN!
my man
Progressive country needs to come back.
What do Londoners play when abroad and feeling homesick?
"Maybe it's Because I'm a Londoner."
❤️
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Drank a few beers with Gary P.,
Awesome
You can only appreciate this song, if you live here.
Texas is fun
TX is fun
RiP Jerry Jeff
Goddamn..I sure do miss Texas :(
For all you millennials this here's real country. Just saying
One of the highlilghts of this vid, is the young girl in the green checked blouse .. Is she having a good time, or what? This is great entertainment at it's very best.
Now, they are older, and still rockin' hard!
This is fun.
Hard to believe Gary p nunn is 74 now
Sounds like a good plan! !
Wow I agree with you,Hello Barbara how are you doing 👋👋👋👋
Wow
for Ann and me
help me out here . question , was Radney Foster in the band in Video ?
anyone know who the mighty fine young guitar picker is, who takes a nice turn with a really tasty solo......love the add-lib over the missed chord change!
check out JJW's Belize cd
TEXAS BEST
who is on lead guitar?
@blueskiesblue - Ooops: She is at 4:35 .. just look at her face! So cute.
@miguelofthehillcount It's "New Braunfels". It's German for Brown Fields...
for Ann McDonald and me
as an englishman i think this is pretty good nd amusing. he's right the english sense of humour is very dry, and being in London without a penny sucks. Even our great writer george orwell said 'england is a wonderful place to be when you're rich'.
Ive been to London! I know what you mean! Its Cold & Dreary! But when the Sun comes out everyone gets Happy! Ask my Ex English BF! Haha
THE EYES OF TEXAS of course!!!:)
the crow skewed the swan
Now, the real question is, are there any Armadillos in Amarillo......?
Wow. There are so many absolutely trivial, menial, horrible shitty vids here with millions of views... and genuine, awesome talent like this is only seen 8 thousand times?? Guess I'm lucky.
Love these guys.
The only problem with what’s become of Austin Tx.

What's the difference between Jerry Jeff and Gary Jeff??
Rest in peace Jerry Jeff Walker. He finally went home with the armadillos. He left behind a lot of great music for us to enjoy. There you go.
