What I Like About Texas - Gary P. Nunn
You ask me what I like about Texas
I tell you it's the wide open spaces!
It's everything between
The Sabine and the Rio Grande.
It's the Llano Estacado,
It's the Brazos and the Colorado;
It's spirit of the people
Who share this land!
It's another burrito,
With a cold Lone Star in my hand
It's a quarter for the jukebox boys
Austin, Texas Band
You ask me what I like about Texas
It's the big timber qround Nacogdoches
It's driving El Camino Real
Down to San Antone
It's the River Walk and Mi Tierra
And it's Dancing to the Cotton-Eyed Joe
It's stories
of the Menger Hotel and Alamo!
(You remember the Alamo!)
Repeat chorus twice
Now, you ask me what I like about Texas
It's Bluebonnets
And indian paintbrushes
It's swimming in the sacred waters
of Barton Springs
And it's body surfing the Frio
And it's Saturday night in Del Rio!
Driving across the border
For some cultural exchange!
Repeat chorus twice
That's what I like about Texas...
