There's a place not too far away from here

Out with the cows and the Lone Star beer
  D                                              A
Where the living and loving is quite all right with me
  E                    D                             A
Well they call it Texas and it's a mighty fine place to be

Runs from Texarkana to El Paso

And Oklahoma down to old Mexico
 D                                        A
And there's Houston, Dallas, Austin and San Antone
  E                   D                 A
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
 D                                                   A
And they like their music with a little bit of southern sound
  E                   D                              A
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
 D                                            A
You can take you like and shove 'em on up the line
  E                    D                      A
People in Texas don't care if the sun don't shine
