There’s nothing like driving along the open road in Texas, with the big sky above and nothing but open fields for miles around. But let’s be honest, some roads are better than others, especially in traffic…and those are the ones that usually cost a pretty penny for the privilege of using them.
Texas Tollways
we have to pay for the roads we drive on
it’s only fair, i guess
even though so many of them
seem to be a mess
that’s what you get when your taxes
are the lowest in the land
but there’s better roads available
if your pocketbook can stand
to pay a little extra, then
you’re in the catbird seat
lower traffic, wider lanes
fewer cops out on the beat
i suppose that it’s no shocker
though it seems a little mean
every path is easier
if you’ve only got the green…
