Texas Longhorn

When I was just a kid, my dad told me When it comes to football in Texas, there's only one team They play down in Austin, Saturdays in the fall At Darell K. Royal, a hundred thousand strong And as I grew, so did my pride For the thunder of Old Smokey, and singin' Texas Fight For Bevo and the boys, down there on the field C'mon hook 'em, Horns! I know you will I've seen Vince Young run for the Roses Watched Ricky & Earl strike them Heisman poses I've witnessed the battle for that old Red River And I've crossed back over most times as a winner I'm one of the chosen, who's blood runs burnt orange Thank God, I was born a Texas Longhorn! Yeah, if you ask me, the greatest thing in the world Is a pre game tailgate with a bunch of UT girls Down on San Jacinto, Longhorn nation all around Come early, stay late and get loud 'Cause I've seen Colt McCoy throw bullets to Shipley And I've heard all the stories of the great 1960s From Nobis to McMichael to Orakpo to Applewhite Those names you'll remember for the rest of your life I'm one of the chosen who's blood runs burnt orange Thank God, I was born a Texas Longhorn! I hate them Red Raiders and them Baylor Bears Let the Aggies keep their 12th man, I just don't care So long Nebraska, guess we beat you too much And never forget, O U SUCKS! When the Lord comes to take me away Hope He lets me have just one more Saturday Pretty Texas girl beside me, cold one in my hand Cheering for the boys, way up there in the stands That's how I'd like to go, Lord if that's all right A winner down in Austin on a Saturday night! I've seen Vince Young run for the Roses Watched Ricky & Earl strike them Heisman poses I've witnessed the battle for that old Red River And I've crossed back over most times as a winner Yeah, I'm one of the chosen who's blood runs burnt orange Thank God I was born a Texas Longhorn! Yeah, we're part of the chosen who's blood runs burnt orange Thank God we were born Texas Longhorns! That's right, everybody wants to be a Longhorn
