Texas

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

And there'd be no Austin City limits sign

No Lone Star of any kind

If it wasn't for Texas

I'd never'd 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 limits sign

And no Lone Star of any kind

If it wasn't tor 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
