I was born in Lousiana down on the ol bouyo   Rasied on shrimps and catfish mame's good gumbo   I got the ramblin' fever said goodbye to ma and pa   Crossed that ol red river and this is what I saw      I saw miles and miles of Texas all the stars up in the sky   I saw miles and miles of Texas gonna live here till I die      I rode up in to Austin the craddle of the west   Just ask any cowboy he'll tell you it's the best   I met a texas bueaty I got friendly with her pa   I looked in to her big blue eyes this is what I saw      I saw miles and miles of Texas all the stars up in the sky   I saw miles and miles of Texas gonna live here till I die      I started tamin' bronko's I made every rodeo   Until I met a tuff one you know his name was devil joe   I grabb'd hold of his bridle just to ride this ol' outlaw   He threw me from the saddle and this is what I saw      I saw miles and miles of Texas all the stars up in the sky   I saw miles and miles of Texas gonna live here till I die      Miles of Texas   Uaaah now      All night long      Gonna live here till I die      Aaaaaaaah, Texas
