There wouldn't be no Alamo

No Cowboys in the Superbowl

No Lonesome Dove, no Yellow Rose

If it wasn't for Texas.

I wouldn't be a Willie fan

Nobody'd swim the Rio Grande

I wouldn't be an American

If it wasn't for Texas.

Fort Worth would never cross my mind,

An' there'd be no Austin City Limits sign.

No Lone Star of any kind

If it wasn't for Texas.

I'd never've gone to Tennessee

To sing my songs an' 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 limits sign

An' no Lone Star of any kind

If it wasn't for Texas.

It made me the man I am

Thank God for my old stompin' ground

I wouldn't be standin' right here, right now

If it wasn't for Texas.

If it wasn't for Texas.

If it wasn't for Texas.
