Texas


On Saturday I was driving and listening to the radio when George Strait's "Texas" came on the radio. As I was listening, I saw a huge Texas flag flying in the breeze. It truly was a beautiful sight. If you've never heard the song, it's worth hearing! Here's the lyrics....

There wouldn’t be no Alamo
No Cowboys in the Super Bowl
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

Chorus:
Fort Worth would never cross my mind
There’d be no Austin city limit sign
No lone star of any kind
If it wasn’t for Texas

I’d never 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

Repeat Chorus

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

This reminds me of when I was in college at A&M. I was sitting around with my friend, and for some reason I mentioned that I didn't like country music (I do like SOME of it, I'm just not a big fan), and that I didn't care for George Strait.

Complete silence--nothing but crickets chirping in the background. They just couldn't believe it.

But that sounds like a great song, because I do love Texas.

Texas rocks! Can you sing this kind of stuff about Ohio:

If there was no Ohio ...
Well, I guess ...
Maybe, I don't know
There would be
No Ohio
