Here in Texas we have a sayin We don't call 911 We take care of things ourself That way we know it's done But that sayin ain't exactly true Why, I've called 911 myself If I had the time And felt I need their help 911 will always come No matter the time of day If you have a need Call and they are on their way There are times their help is needed Especially when things look dire Such as a serious accident Or if your house is on fire I love the men and women of 911 Those heros do the best they can But they just can't always be quick enough To lend a helping hand There are many circumstances In which you can call and wait For 911 to arrive Though in our mind their always late But there are as many situations In which 911 is not an option And as an individual you are forced To take or not take action In these types of situations We do what must be done And after we are safe Then we call 911 So here In Texas friend Know we do not run If we can we will call But we don't depend on 911 RLB

911 In Texas
Here in Texas we have a sayin We don't call 911 We take care of things ourself That way we know it's done But that sayin ain't exactly true Why, I've called 911 myself If I had the time And felt I need their help 911 will always come No matter the time of day If you have a need Call and they are on their way There are times their help is needed Especially when things look dire Such as a serious accident Or if your house is on fire I love the men and women of 911 Those heros do the best they can But they just can't always be quick enough To lend a helping hand There are many circumstances In which you can call and wait For 911 to arrive Though in our mind their always late But there are as many situations In which 911 is not an option And as an individual you are forced To take or not take action In these types of situations We do what must be done And after we are safe Then we call 911 So here In Texas friend Know we do not run If we can we will call But we don't depend on 911 RLB
It's just how we do it in Texas.
