[@rharris4736]

It's 31 May, 2022. I'm a Texan who was living in Kharkiv, Ukraine (I opened an ESL school there after leaving China to escape the pandemic), when the Russian Army rolled through last February. My business, my house, my whole damned life went up in thermobaric smoke from Russian artillery. I jumped ship to Poland, but I only get 90 days visa-free in Schengen. On day 89 I flew out of Warsaw to London, where I had some old friends. Landed here just in time for the queen's Platinum Jubillee. Would you believe it was here, on the ground in London, with Three Pounds Sixty Five Pence in my pocket and everything I own in a suitcase, that I heard this song for the first time? Perfect.

Awesome. Totally Awesome. Come back home buddy.

[@jcardiel1000]

Damn dude this pulled some strings in me. I’m not as far as London but very homesick. Take care.

[@ChironAce]

Grandson of Texas and this was a part of childhood when I watched PBS

[@Happyskyrocket]

It's a damn good choice for the Texas National Anthem.

[@rharris4736]

I'd say "Screw You, We're From Texas" still gets that honor.

[@bobwallace1880]

I was lucky enough to go to many ACL concerts in the first few years. Then it turned gradually turned to crap. They left country behind (mostly) with an occasional visit by Willie. I haven't watched or contributed for many years. I really love Gary P Nunn!

[@stonebay2111]

I remember him on Austin City Limits. Great show

[@swinedance]

We were in a bar in California and the band knew how to play this. The woman I was with knew how to two-step, so she took a break from line dancing and we two stepped from California back to Texas with this song.

[@tomoth77]

I've been in Kalifornia for 36 years, but this song makes me long for Texas where I grew up. Viva Texas!

[@MorningInAmerica_Nov_5_2024]

Come home.

[@michaelgarrity6090]

Still love that song. I wished that ACL had not dumped it as their theme song.

[@m.c.master4622]

Michael Garrity, WHAT??? When did they do that and why??

[@davidd9510]

Been playing this song all day on repeat. Up to 18 times now. God bless America and country music.

[@johnireland6301]

Gary is a national treasure.

[@mortyboardsmusic2444]

As a ‘limey’ - although not from London - I love this song! The lyrics are witty and the tune is a real ear worm! My son (who’s forty!) played it for me during a long drive in his car and I listened to it on repeat for ages. I just wish I’d discovered ‘London Homesick Blues’ a long, long time ago.

[@eduardodelagarza4787]

If you are a limey you are a South Eastern Texan lmao

[@Archimedes616]

BTW, "those limey eyes were eyein' the prize some call manly footwear" is an allusion to a line from another country and western song, "Okie from Muskogee." Other numbers you might enjoy are "Up Against the Wall Redneck Mother," and "Friends in Low Places."

[@carolcrumley4597]

Love this song so much!

[@timwillbanks5717]

the perfect song does exist.

[@stanleyklein524]

Been looking for this (and the whole concert) since 1989!!!!

[@kawakami7972]

Ugh I have the biggest crush on him!!!!!

[@Pb-ij4ip]

My high school history teacher, Max T., brought me here. His brother, Gary P. wears the same style glasses.

[@codym8897]

From Austin City Limits Season 14, Episode 3: The Charlie Daniels Band/Gary P. Nunn (1989).

[@donmccullen1973]

London Homesick Blues was the iconic ACL theme for years. Just because of the Texas references in the chorus.

[@briankukk1487]

no news is good news unless it is good news with Gary good news

[@barbedwirefire]

Texas National Anthem 🫡

[@BetKev13]

Ok, on my "Bucket List" go to London England, with a cheap guitar, go to Marble Arch Station, and sing this song, get busted, get banned from England, and laugh my ass off all the way back to TEXAS!!!!!

[@tdkguidry]

Best country song ever written ...

[@sledge1960]

If you're going to London, take a suitcase full of money. It is one expensive place. Good advice from a limey. BTW, you could sing this song all day and they wouldn't have a notion what it was about.

[@ronniebishop2496]

People if I have to explain it you wouldn’t get it anyway.

[@eduardodelagarza4787]

First stop Marshal Texas to purchase a hat from the American hat company second stop luckenbach Texas in 1974

[@briankukk1487]

really Ray my great uncle trained a crow as a pet London bridges fall ing down with one call

[@randy1randy1]

Don't let that hat touch ground friends !!.

[@briankukk1487]

ONE STAR NO BULLSHIT WE SEEN IT

[@briankukk1487]

[@LeopardGeckoFry]

I don’t remember David Letterman being a country music singer

[@briankukk1487]

LOON STAR STATE

[@briankukk1487]

THE TRAP IS TEXAS

[@randy1979]

I’m just impressed the white audience is clapping on 2 and 4.
