Lyrics
Some people think they know about Texas But they’re not really smart as they think they are They may’ve been down the road But there’s a lot they’ll never know They missed too many nights down at the bar They never ate that dust in Amarillo Been to Cherry Springs on Saturday night Spent a wooden nickel in the Buckhorn Been to Dallas in the early morn Spent the day gettin’ over last night For a hundred fifty years there’s been Texas She had cowboys right from the start We fly that Lone Star in Austin Fought wars and never lost ‘em Texas you’re deep in my heart I’ve been to Willie Nelson’s Picnic on the Fourth of July Been to Cowtown on a Saturday night Talkin’ apple pies and babies Sweet Texas ladies Texas let your Lone Star fly Well every now and then we have to travel We’ll be gone from Texas for some time I don’t mind the visit But Texas how I miss it Can’t wait to get back across that line Our limo is a double cab dually Our driver is really doin’ great He’s good at his drivin’ But best on arrivin’ Back in that Lone Star State I’m talking Texas Texas let your Lone Star fly
