What I Like About Texas - Jerry Jeff Walker

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 Mother Lovin' 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 in Mi Tierra

Dancing to the Cotton-eyed Joe

It’s stories of the Menger Hotel and 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 Son’s of the Mother Lovin' Bunkhouse Band

Hey, you ask me what I like about Texas

It’s Blue Bonnets and indian paint brushes

Swimming in the sacred waters of Barton Springs

It’s body surfing the Freo

It’s Saturday night in Del Rio!

Driving across 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

Plays The Son’s of the Mother Lovin' Bunkhouse Band

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

It’s a quarter to four, the jukebox boy

Play The Son’s of the Mother Lovin' Bunkhouse Band

You ask me what I like about Texas

Spoken:

I could tell you… but it would take all night long.
