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 Oklahome 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 your like and shove 'em on up the line   People in Texas don't care if the sun don't shine
