It's 1200 Miles From Palm Springs to Texas
Western Charms: Bridging 1200 Miles from Palm Springs to Texas
Lyrics
It's 1200 miles from Palm Springs to Texas
Distance between Palm Springs and Texas is 1200 miles.
But tonight it's right next door
Tonight, despite the physical distance, it feels very close.
For a week each year
During a specific week annually.
It's the old frontier
Referring to the past, reminiscent of an old-time western era.
That's what brings them here, western atmosphere
That ambiance is what attracts people here, creating a western feel.
You can't tell the dudes from real riding cowboys
It's challenging to differentiate between tourists and actual cowboys.
When they sashay across the floor
People, regardless of their origins, move gracefully.
There's the circus means, lots and lots of thrills
There's a festive vibe with numerous exciting activities.
Folks from Houston yeah, and from Beverly Hills
Attendees come from different places like Houston and Beverly Hills.
Clowning from the Shamrock right to the Almiera door
Enjoyment and entertainment extend from one venue to another.
You'll find it's 1200 miles from Palm Springs to Texas
Reiteration of the distance between Palm Springs and Texas.
But tonight it's right next door
Despite the physical distance, it feels proximate tonight.
Do you see that parade
Observation of a parade happening.
Do you hear that parade
Encouragement to listen to the parade.
Coming down Palm Canyon Drive
Where the parade is taking place - Palm Canyon Drive.
But if you see that parade
Invitation to join and support the parade.
Come on and cheer that parade if you're 8 or 85
Regardless of age, everyone is invited to cheer for the parade.
Who's that riding up ahead
Curiosity about a person leading the parade.
Why it's the govenor of Texas someone said
Identification of the person leading the parade as the Texas governor.
What's he doing up this way
Surprise at the Texas governor's presence in Palm Springs.
Why it Palm Springs and Texas day
Recognition of a special occasion connecting Palm Springs and Texas.
Ah, you can't tell the dudes from real riding cowboys
Reiteration of the challenge in distinguishing tourists from real cowboys.
When they sashay across the floor
Continued graceful movements by people from different backgrounds.
Folks are trading in all their Cadillacs
Symbolic trade-off of luxury cars for western-style clothing and horses.
For those pinto ponies and cowhide slacks
People embracing a western aesthetic, abandoning upscale shopping.
And there's no one left down at Neiman Marcus' store
Emptiness of a high-end store due to the event's influence.
Because it's 1200 miles from Palm Spring to Texas
Reiteration of the geographical distance between Palm Springs and Texas.
But tonight it's right next door
Despite the distance, tonight feels like a close connection.
