You say you're not from Texas |
|
Man as if I couldn't tell |
|
You think you pull your boots on right |
|
And wear your hat so well |
|
So pardon me my laughter |
|
'Cause I sure do understand |
|
Even Moses got excited |
|
When he saw the promised land |
|
That's right you're not from Texas |
|
That's right you're not from Texas |
|
That's right you're not from Texas |
|
But Texas wants you anyway |
|
That's right you're not from Texas |
|
That's right you're not from Texas |
|
That's right you're not from Texas |
|
But Texas wants you anyway |
|
See I was born and raised in Texas |
|
And it means so much to me |
|
Though my girl comes from down in Georgia |
|
We were up in Tennessee |
|
And as we were driving down the highway |
|
She asked me baby what's so great |
|
How come you're always going on |
|
About your Lone Star State |
|
I said that's right you're not from Texas |
|
That's right you're not from Texas |
|
That's right you're not from Texas |
|
But Texas wants you anyway |
|
That's right you're not from Texas |
|
That's right you're not from Texas |
|
That's right you're not from Texas |
|
But Texas wants you anyway |
|
Oh the road it looked so lovely |
|
As she stood there on the side |
|
And she grew smaller in my mirror |
|
As I watched her wave goodbye |
|
Those boys from Carolina |
|
They sure enough could sing |
|
But when they came on down to Texas |
|
We all showed them how to swing |
|
Now David's on the radio |
|
And old Champ's still on the guitar |
|
And Uncle Walt he's home with Heidi |
|
Hiding in her loving arms |
|
That's right you're not from Texas |
|
That's right you're not from Texas |
|
That's right you're not from Texas |
|
But Texas wants you anyway |
|
That's right you're not from Texas |
|
That's right you're not from Texas |
|
That's right you're not from Texas |
|
But Texas wants you anyway |
|
They're OK in Oklahoma |
|
Up in Arkansas they're fair |
|
But those old folks in Missouri |
|
They don't even know you're there |
|
But at a dance hall down in Texas |
|
That's the finest place to be |
|
The women they all look beautiful |
|
And their men will buy your beer for free |
|
And they'll say that's right you're not from Texas |
|
That's right you're not from Texas |
|
That's right you're not from Texas |
|
But Texas wants you anyway |
|
That's right you're not from Texas |
|
That's right you're not from Texas |
|
That's right you're not from Texas |
|
But Texas wants you anyway |
|
So won't you let me help you Mister |
|
Just pull your hat down the way I do |
|
And buy your pants just a little longer |
|
And next time somebody laughs at you |
|
You just tell 'em you're not from Texas |
|
That's right you're not from Texas |
|
That's right you're not from Texas |
|
But Texas wants you anyway |
|
That's right you're not from Texas |
|
That's right you're not from Texas |
|
That's right you're not from Texas |
|
But Texas wants you anyway |
