Keep Texas Beautiful |
| Texas in October, is about as pretty as it gets |
| But Texas in the springtime, is even prettier yet |
| You miss it so much when you’re gone |
| It’s hard for you to say |
| Texas gets more beautiful, with every passing day |
| Got a letter from my family, said they’d had a lot of rain |
| It washed away the cotton crops, but all and all they can’t complain |
| 'Cause the bluebonnets are about to bloom again |
| And Ginger finally had her colt |
| In Texas they don’t worry much, about things they can’t control |
| Keep Texas beautiful, keep Texas free |
| Keep her wild and natural, just the way she ought to be |
| This world is full of man-made wonders, Texas didn’t come that way |
| No, Texas came out beautiful, why not keep her that way? |
| I’ve been out here working hard, trying to make ends meet |
| But a float trip down the Rio Grande would sure do a lot for me |
| A good night’s sleep under a lot of stars |
| With a sunrise crisp and clean |
| And the smell of coffee boiling, by a big old pot of beans |
| So in my dreams I’m driving home, I can see my daddy’s face |
| He’s standing by the live oak tree, in our yard on Canyon Lake |
| And I’m driving under miles and miles of clear blue Texas skies |
| Some strangers in a pick-up truck, turn and wave as I drive by |
| Yeah, Texas came out beautiful, why not keep her that way? |
