| There’s a place not too far away from here
|
| Out with the cows and the Lone Star beer
|
| Where the living and loving is quite all right with me
|
| Well they call it Texas and it’s a mighty fine place to be
|
| Runs from Texarkana to El Paso
|
| And Oklahoma down to old Mexico
|
| And there’s Houston, Dallas, Austin and San Antone
|
| People in Texas sure do make you feel at home
|
| They just want everybody to leave them alone
|
| While they drink their whiskey and roll their own
|
| And they like their music with a little bit of southern sound
|
| They kick up their heels every evening when the sun goes down
|
| And you can call them country and they don’t care
|
| And if you don’t like the way they wear their hair
|
| You can take you like and shove 'em on up the line
|
| People in Texas don’t care if the sun don’t shine |
