Texas Love Song - Slaid Cleaves

For you, I’d give up all my time

Searching for the perfect rhyme

And this is one that certainly perplexes

For you, I would spend all my days

Thinking up all the crazy ways

I love you even more than I love Texas

You got Bellaire class and Dallas style

Austin soul and a Luckenbach smile

For you I’d trade my truck in for a Lexus

You smell as sweet as the piney woods

I’d marry you if I thought I could

I love you even more than I love Texas

You’re the barb on my wire

The spark in my campfire

There’s no brighter star in all the multiplexes

I love this state, you know I do

But the best thing in this state is you

I love you even more than I love Texas

Your wit’s as sharp as a prickly pear

The sun shines in your golden hair

Your smile hits me right in the solar plexus

Skin as soft as early morning rain

Temper like a gulf coast hurricane

I love you even more than I love Texas

From the Mucky Duck to the Broken Spoke

You know this state like an old cowpoke

You know where all the tastiest Tex-Mex is

You got Mattson on the radio

Playing Robert Earl and Billy Joe

I love you even more than I love Texas

You’re the barb on my wire

The spark in my campfire

Let’s head out west where nobody can text us

I promise you I’ll never cheat

Or you can throw me out in the old mesquite

I love you even more than I love Texas

And if you make me leave this state

I’ll curse but I won’t hesitate

‘Cause I love you even more than I love Texas
