Jerry Jeff Walker: What I Like About Texas

Page history last edited by Anonymous 1 yr ago

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

Spirit of the people down here who share this land

 

It's another burrito

It's a cold Lone Star in my hand

It's a quarter for the jukebox, boys

Play some songs by your favorite Austin, Texas, band

 

You ask me what I like about Texas

It's the big timber round Nacogdoches

It's driving El Camino Real into San Antone

It's the Riverwalk in Mi Tierra

Dancin' to the Cotton-eyed Joe

It's stories of the Menger Hotel and the Alamo

(You remember the Alamo!)

 

It's another burrito

It's a cold Lone Star in my hand

It's a quarter for the jukebox, boys

Play some songs by your favorite Austin, Texas, band

 

Hey, you ask me what I like about Texas

It's Blue Bonnets and indian paintbrushes

Swimming in the sacred waters of Barton Springs

It's body surfing the Frio

It's Saturday night in Del Rio

Driving across the border for some cultural exchange

 

It's another burrito

With a cold Lone Star in my hand

It's a quarter for the jukebox, boys

Play some songs by your favorite Austin, Texas, band

 

It's another burrito

It's a cold Lone Star in my hand

It's a quarter for the jukebox, boys

Play some songs by your favorite Austin, Texas, band

 

That's what I like about Texas! Yee-haw!
