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? |
