Texas

There wouldn't be no Alamo
No Cowboys in the Super Bowl
No "Lonesome Dove", No "Yellow Rose"
If it wasn't for Texas.

I wouldn't be a Willie fan
Nobody would swim the Rio Grand
I wouldn't be an American
If it wasn't for Texas.

CHORUS
Fort Worth would never cross my mind
There'd be no Austin city limit sign
No Lone Star of any kind,
If it wasn't for Texas.

I'd never gone to Tennessee
to sing my songs and chase my dreams,
Only heaven knows just where I'd be
If it wasn't for Texas.

Fort Worth would never cross my mind
There'd be no Austin City limit sign
No Lone Star of any kind
If it wasn't for Texas.

It made me the man I am,
Thank God for my old stomping ground.
I wouldn't be standing right here right now
If it wasn't for Texas,
If it wasn't for Texas,
If it wasn't for Texas.
