Up In Texas

Blue eyes cried in the rain tears for it
Shiner Bock poured a beer for it
The Lone Star shinin' in the sky
Santa Anna tried for it
Davy Crockett died for it
If you've been there, you know why

Sam Houston star-spangled it
Jerry Jeff bojangled it

You ain't been awake
'Til you wake up in Texas
You ain't felt heartbreak
'Til you break up in Texas
The best songs, the best bars
And you ain't seen stars
'Til you look up in Texas
Now out of ten, it's eleven
I bet even in Heaven
They say, "Up in Texas"

They made Lonesome Dove in it
Willie found his luck in it
Underneath the come and take it flag
Billy Graham prayed for it
Jerry Jones paid for it
It's hard to talk about and not brag

Lucchese boots walked across it
Billy Bob's honky-tonked it

You ain't been awake
'Til you wake up in Texas
You ain't felt heartbreak
'Til you break up in Texas
The best songs, the best bars
And you ain't seen stars
'Til you look up in Texas
Now out of ten, it's eleven
I bet even in Heaven
Say, "Up in Texas"

Oh, take me back to Texas, boys

The best songs, the best bars
And you ain't seen stars
'Til you look up in Texas
Now out of ten, it's eleven
I bet even in Heaven
They say, "Up in Texas"

It's a blue-bonnet blessing
A red-sunset obsession
Bet even in Heaven
They say, "Up in Texas"
