There's a place not too far away from here

Out with the cows and the Lone Star beer

Where the livin' and lovin' 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 sund don't shine
