So I'm going to SXSW. It's crazy to think that a year ago I went down there, such a different person. The circumstances were different as well. Now, I'm not going with Frank. The movie we went to pitch is shot and in the can. I'm not driving but flying. I won't be staying at the Crack6 but on the couches of kind people. I've been to Austin two times now, having also gone to the film festival in October. I now know people there, whether I work for them or met them at the festival. Or I consider them at least a tangential friend, or I'm working with them here in LA, or I know them but have yet to actually meet them. Things are very different. Things are very good. Anyway, I'm very excited to go. A tiny bit nervous, but mostly excited. I have the feeling this will be a lot of fun. So if you're down, come say hi. We're pretty easy to find. (I'll be speaking with Wing Chun on an Interactive panel.) See you soon, bitches.
You say you're not from Texas.
Man as if I couldn't tell.
You think you pull your boots on right.
And wear your hat so well.
So pardon me my laughter.
'Cause I sure do understand.
Even Moses got excited.
When he saw the promised land.
That's right you're not from Texas.
That's right you're not from Texas.
That's right you're not from Texas.
But Texas wants you anyway.
That's right you're not from Texas.
That's right you're not from Texas.
That's right you're not from Texas.
But Texas wants you anyway.
See I was born and raised in Texas.
And it means so much to me.
Though my girl comes from down in Georgia.
We were up in Tennessee.
And as we were driving down the highway.
She asked me baby what's so great.
How come you're always going on.
About your Lone Star State.
I said that's right you're not from Texas.
That's right you're not from Texas.
That's right you're not from Texas.
But Texas wants you anyway.
That's right you're not from Texas.
That's right you're not from Texas.
That's right you're not from Texas.
But Texas wants you anyway.
Oh the road it looked so lovely.
As she stood there on the side.
And she grew smaller in my mirror.
As I watched her wave goodbye.
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.
That's right you're not from Texas.
That's right you're not from Texas.
That's right you're not from Texas.
But Texas wants you anyway.
That's right you're not from Texas.
That's right you're not from Texas.
That's right you're not from Texas.
But Texas wants you anyway.
They're OK in Oklahoma.
Up in Arkansas they're fair.
But those old folks in Missouri.
They don't even know you're there.
But at a dance hall down in Texas.
That's the finest place to be.
The women they all look beautiful.
And their men will buy your beer for free.
And they'll say that's right you're not from Texas.
That's right you're not from Texas.
That's right you're not from Texas.
But Texas wants you anyway.
That's right you're not from Texas.
That's right you're not from Texas.
That's right you're not from Texas.
But Texas wants you anyway.
So won't you let me help you Mister.
Just pull your hat down the way I do.
And buy your pants just a little longer.
And next time somebody laughs at you.
You just tell 'em you're not from Texas.
That's right you're not from Texas.
That's right you're not from Texas.
But Texas wants you anyway.
That's right you're not from Texas.
That's right you're not from Texas.
That's right you're not from Texas.
But Texas wants you anyway...speaking of which. I once did a film down in Texas. We were on break this one day and I saw this armadillo, so I started chasing it and it started running. So I chased it for a while and finally I caught up to it and I kicked it and it said, "Hey Downey! Stop it!." Turns out it wasn't an armadillo but our Key Grip Tuffy. Man, that was some crazy shit I was on.
