Lyrics

I'd like to head towards the Rio Grande, maybe just pitch a tent on a small piece of land. I'm tired of my head spinnin 'round from all the buffoonery of this sky scraper town ...And the only sound that I'll hear is the wind: "Ooh", it goes "Ooh". Near the mountains, near the rivers, near the desert of Big Bend I'll hear "Ooh". ...And if you don't hear a word from me you know where I'll be, deep in a great state that used to be a great country. Don't live upon your hands and knees, as you can see, this is where everybody goes to get back on their feet. If times are hard and you're in need, yes I do decree, once we get you down here you ain't never gonna ever wanna leave. Ooh... (Don't Mess With Texas) Start spreadin the news... (Ooh God Bless Texas) I ain't ready to leave today! (Don't Mess With Texas) My heart will always be a part of it... (Ooh God Bless Texas) I'll be here for as long as I can stay... (Don't Mess With Texas) H-town traffic ain't half as bad as L.A.! (Ooh God Bless Texas) And you know everybody fussin' 'bout NYC, well that city is okay... (Don't Mess With Texas) But the stars at night are big and bright... (Ooh God Bless Texas) deep in the heart of Texaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaas! I'm in a Texas state of mind, you know I left my heart there. (Don't Mess With Texas) Have you seen the blue bonnets? They look so pretty by the highways. (Ooh God Bless Texas) Come on and braid my hair, come on and braid my hair... (Don't Mess With Texas) You know who's from Texas? Patrick Swayze, baby. (Ooh God Bless Texas) Nolan Ryan throws faster than you! (Hall of fame pitcher) Texas was once owned by the French government, then the Spanish government, and then the Mexican government. (Ooh God Bless Texas) Dr. Pepper was invented in Waco! (23 flavors) And you know when I was a toddler, we'd drive up to Schlitterbahn - that's in Nacogdoches (new braunfels). (Ooh God Bless Texas) Texas is the leading exporter of wool, W-O-O-L (Don't mess with Texas) Lubbock's got a lot of sandstorms! (Sand up in my grill) The water is kinda blue, yes it's really blue in Corpus Christi. (Ooh God Bless Texas) And you know Texas, it's such a big piece of land. (Don't Mess With Texas) The 1st word spoken on the moon was "Houston." (That never happened...) If you think the moon landing was a hoax, then we're gonna have a problem here. (Don't Mess With Texas) TEXAS! More oil comes from Texas than any other place. (I'm don't think that's true) I'm not sure if it's true either, I'm just ballparkin' it, baby. (Don't Mess With Texas) Shhh don't say a word, unless it's "Texas". (Texas....) Remember the Alamo, remember it....
