Welcome to Cast Iron Texas, my guide to rediscovering our Lone Star roots while being ambassadors of our cultural heritage. I take pride not only in telling people where I'm from, but also sharing with them about how Texas has influenced the world with its Cast Iron character. I've found that the best way to make an impression is by sharing our table with friends and loved ones. So sit back, kick off your boots, pour a cup of iced tea and join in on learning more about where we come from.

Texas Cookin' by Guy Clark

Nobody speaks to my soul like Guy Clark!



Texas Cookin' by Guy Clark


Well I'm goin’ down to Austin, Texas
I'm goin’ down to save my soul
Get that barbeque and chili
Eat my fill then come back home

I'm gonna take my baby with me
We gonna have a high ol' time
We’re gonna eat till we get silly
Sho' do make a beer taste fine

Oh my, momma ain't that Texas cookin' somethin’
Oh my, momma it'll stop yo' belly and backbone bumpin'
Oh my, momma ain't that Texas cookin' good
Oh my, momma eat it everyday if I could

Well I know a man that cook armadillo
Tastes so sweet he called it pie
I know a woman makes pan dulce
Tastes so good it gets you high

Get them enchiladas greasy
Get them steaks chicken fried
Sho' do make a man feel happy
To see white gravy on the side

Oh my, momma ain't that Texas cookin' somethin’
Oh my, momma it'll stop yo' belly and backbone bumpin'
Oh my, momma ain't that Texas cookin' good
Oh my, momma eat it everyday if I could

Well I know a place that got fried okra
Beat anything I ever saw
I know a man that cook cabrito
It must be against the law

We gonna get a big ol' sausage
A big ol' plate of ranch style beans
I could eat the heart of Texas
We gonna need some brand new jeans

Oh my, momma ain't that Texas cookin' somethin’
Oh my, momma it'll stop yo' belly and backbone bumpin'
Oh my, momma ain't that Texas cookin' good
Oh my, momma eat it everyday if I could
