What I Like About Texas - Gary P. Nunn, Kevin Fowler

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 the sons of the mothers of the bunkhouse band!

You ask me what I like about Texas

It’s the big timber round Nacadoches

It’s driving El Camino Real into San Antone

It’s the Riverwalk and Mi Tierra

Jamm’n out with bongo 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 the sons of the mother love’n bunkhouse band!

It’s another burrito, it’s a cold Lone Star in my hand!

It’s a quarter for the jukebox, boys,

Play the sons of the mother love’n bunkhouse band!

Well, you ask me what I like about Texas

It’s Blue Bonnet and Indian paint brushes

Swimming in the sacred waters of Barton Springs

It’s body surfing at Freo

It’s Saturday night in Del Rio!

It’s crossing over the border for some cultural exchange!

It’s another burrito, it’s a cold Lone Star in my hand!

It’s a quarter for the jukebox, boys,

Play the sons of the mother love’n bunkhouse band!

Well, you ask me what I like about Texas

Well, I could tell you, but we’d be here all night long
