That's Texas

My redneck mother sang "Redneck Mother"

Cookin' us kids somethin' to eat

Daddy drank tequila like Pancho Villa

When the Cowboys won or they got beat

But that's Texas

Mmm-mmm

That ol' Lone Star gravel make an old truck rattle

Like a get-ya-boot bit stepped-on snake

Lord, have mercy, that ground gets thirsty

Better buy a Resistol or find some shade

That's Texas

That's Texas

That's Texas, home of George Strait, the king

Ain't no such thing as chili with beans

That's Texas, hot as a flattop griddle

Ain't got a band if ya ain't got a fiddle

That's Texas with a capital T

If I can't go to Heaven, I got a plan B

And that's Texas

Yeah, that's Texas

Them two step queens'll bring ya to your knees

Yeah, buddy, God sure blessed 'em

There's fifty states, but at the end of the day

There's one that you don't mess with

That's Texas, home of Robert Earl Keen

Ain't no such thing as chili with beans

That's Texas, hot as a flattop griddle

Ain't got a band if ya ain't got a fiddle

That's Texas with a capital T

If I can't go to Heaven, I got a plan B

And that's Texas

Yeah, that's Texas

Tell 'em 'bout it, boys

Where the night gets bright when the stars come on

Where every bar is a honky tonk

That's Texas, home of the CJB

Ain't no such thing as chili with beans

That's Texas, hot as a flattop griddle

Ain't got a band if ya ain't got a fiddle

That's Texas with a capital T

If I can't go to Heaven, I got a plan B

And that's Texas

Yeah, that's Texas

Come and take it, boys

Yeah
