Intro:

Well I'm just a country boy

Country is all I know

I'm proud to be from Texas

Home of the Alamo

Lone Star Beer and dance hall lights as we dance to the Cotton Eyed Joe

Havin' myself one helluva time with the best people I know.

Pickup Tempo

Awwww here it comes now!

Verse I

Now we are all Americans proud of the red, white & blue.

And if you've seen the Texas flag you'd know that that is true.

I know we make a little too much noise, what the hell you expect us to do.

If everyone was as proud as us well I know they'd be loud too.

Chorus:

We'll have a rip roarin' one helluva time under a Texas sky.

Between Livestock shows and rodeos you'll get a natural high.

Where the women look so good in tight blue jeans they'll almost make you cry.

Guess I'm like Tanya Tucker, it's Texas when I die.

Verse II:

Now it's nice to know that rock & roll is still alve and well.

And I'm surprised that it survived with Texans raisin' hell.

If we listen to it we make ourselves completely understood.

That if you're gonna play it well Johnny it better be good.

Bridge:

Drums & Vocals only:

Stand up and clap your hands way above your head.

Salute the state that was built by cattlemen, roughnecks and lead.

Texas is a way of life it's somethin' that we all love.

Texans are always proud to wave the stars and stripes above.

Repeat Chorus:

Tag:

Well ya know I'm like Tanya Tucker, it's Texas when I die.
