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 Lonestar of any kind
If it wasn't for Texas

I'd never've 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 Lonestar of any kind
If it wasn't for 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
