I Like Texas.

Well, from Dalhart to Del Rio
And out El Paso way
I've been doin' fine on Houston time
When the sun sets on the Copano Bay
From way up where the Red River flows
On down to the Rio Grande
I was born a little native Texan kid
And I'm proud to say that I am

Yeah, well, I like Texas
Ain't it fine here
I like to pick my guitar down at 'ole Gruene Hall
And drink that Miller Lite beer
Yeah, well, I like Texas
Man, there ain't no doubt
Just listen to me 'cause I know what I'm talkin' about

Well, there's old dancehalls and little cafes
Where you can get a taste of the Lone Star state
You can strap on boots and have yourself a laugh or two
Well, there's no line dancing, just straight romancing
That Hill Country love is what I fancy
The streams running clear and the skies they are so blue

Yeah, well, I like Texas
Ain't it fine here
I like to pick my guitar down at 'ole Gruene Hall
And drink that Miller Lite beer
Yeah, well, I like Texas
Man, there ain't no doubt
Just listen to me 'cause I know what I'm talkin' about

Well, it's a two-day-old burrito
One lukewarm beer to go
On the Sunday side of a road trip weekend
And Lordy, I was feelin' so low
When somebody flipped on the jukebox, and I heard old Bob Wills say,
"Won't cha' stay all night, stay a little longer?"
So I held on another day.

Yeah, I like Texas.
