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 sun don't shine
