From the plains of Lubbock way down to the coast
The land is filled with people that rock the most
Proud people from Laredo all the way to Corsicana
And San Jacinto, where they defeated Santa Ana
From 1836 to 1845
For about ten years, the Republic’s alive
With a solitary star in a field of blue
Everybody learned about it back when you was in school
It’s the proud story of a land that’s great
It’s the largest state in the Lower 48
Now Stephen F. Austin gets much respect
‘Cause he’s the father of the land the Spanish tried to get
Proud men like Crockett and William B. Travis
Others tried to get the land, but they would not let them have it
The first elected President was named Sam Houston
Come on, everybody, get loose in
Texas, it’s a powerful thing
Texas, let freedom ring
Texas, like a yellowjacket sting
The Lone Star State like Robert Earl Keen
Texas, the flag’s standing tall
Texas, you need help, just call
Texas, from Montezuma’s halls
You say “hello”, we say “Howdy, y’all”
Now ZZ Top’s been kicking dust for years
Pantera reinvented the steel in your ears
The Ghetto Boys been playing tricks on your mind
And MC Overlord’s been shaking your behind
We’ve got Pat Green and Ed Burleson
Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson
Clint Black and Jerry Jeff Walker
We all talk slow, not one fast talker
You know I get down like big Dave King
I love to listen to George Straight sing
‘Cause I’m just like Texas, don’t mess with me
‘Cause if you pop that noise, you’ll get dismissed directly
If you want to battle me, you’d better be on your guard
‘Cause Cowboy Troy and the Hicks will always be hard
We’ll be harder than physics on a calculus test
And when the battle is done, Cowboy Troy is the best
You’re gonna say I’m not the best, but you know that I’m good
And that’s one fact quickly understood
It’s a round one knock-down, making y’all feel this
Last man like Bruce Willis
Texas, it’s a powerful thing
Texas, let freedom ring
Texas, like a yellowjacket sting
The Lone Star State like Robert Earl Keen
Texas, the flag’s standing tall
Texas, you need help, just call
Texas, from Montezuma’s halls
You say “hello”, we say “Howdy, y’all”
Gotta say “Howdy” to my friends at UT
‘Cause a Texas Longhorn I will always be
And to the good old boys in Houston, I’ve gotta say “Howdy”
Even though every now and then they get a little rowdy
Best wishes to the cowboys that live in San Antone
The one in San Marcos, the ones in Waco
I’ve gotta say “Hey” to the boys in El Paso
The ones in Texarkana, the Golden Triangle
To the boys in College Station, the ones in Amarillo
The ones out in the valley, and Midland Odessa
You can’t forget Fort Worth and Dallas as well
The original address of the Heartbreak Hotel
‘Cause in the Lone Star State we’ve got a country style
Even though every now and then we get a little wild
I’m a right nice guy, don’t take no lip
So the diarrhea of the mouth better quit
‘Cause I’ll be on your behind like a big old flop
I’ll make you call me “Tex” just to make me stop
If you keep talking noise, you’ll be getting demolished
I’ll be kicking you behind ‘til you taste my shoe polish
Texas, it’s a powerful thing
Texas, let freedom ring
Texas, like a yellowjacket sting
The Lone Star State like Robert Earl Keen
