I Like Texas Lyrics

(Pat Green and Page Blanton)

From Dalhart to Del Rio and out El Paso way
Well I'll be doin' fine on Houston time
And when the sun sets on the Copano Bay
Well from way up where the Red River flows
On down to the Rio Grande
I was born a native Texican
And I'm proud to say that I am

Chorus
Yeah I like Texas, Ain't it fine here
Like to pick my guitar down in Luckenbach
And drink that Shiner Bock beer
Yeah I like Texas man there ain't no doubt
Just listen to me 'cause I know what I'm talking about

Well there's old dancehalls and little café's
Where you can get a taste of the Lone Star State
Strap on your boots and have yourself a laugh or two
Well there's no line dancin' just straight romancin'
That hill country love is what I fancy
Where streams run clear and Lord the skies they are so blue

Chorus

It's a two day old burrito on a lukewarm beer to go
On the Sunday side of a roadtrip weekend
And Lordy I was feelin' so low
When somebody flipped on the jukebox
And I heard old Bob Will say
?won'tcha' say all night stay a little longer?
so I held on another day

Chorus
