[B]
[G]You ask me what I like about Texas
[E]
I [C]tell you it's the wide open spaces!
[B] [F#]
It's [G]everything between the Sabine and the Rio Gra[D]nde.
[B]
It's the L[G]lano Estacado,
[E]
It's the B[C]razos and the Colorado;
[B] [F#]
[G]Spirit of the people down here who share this [D]land!
[E] [B] [E] [B]
[C]It's another burr[G]ito, it's a [C]cold Lone Star in my [G]hand
[E] [D#m]
It's a [C]quarter for the [Bm]jukebox, boys,
[C#m] [F#] [B]
Play some [Am]songs by your favorite Austin [D]Texas [G]band!
You ask me what I like about Texas
It's the big timber roundneck Nacadoches
It's driving El Camino Real into San Antone
It's the Riverwalk and Mi Tierra
Dancing to the Cotton-eyed Joe
It's stories of the Menger Hotel and the Alamo!
(You remember the Alamo!)
It's another burrito, it's a cold Lone Star in my hand!
It's a quarter for the jukebox, boys,
Play some songs by your favorite Austin Texas band!
Hey, you ask me what I like about Texas
It's Blue Bonnet and Indian paint brushes
Swimming in the sacred waters of Barton Springs
It's body surfing at 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,
Play some songs by your favorite Austin Texas band!
It's another burrito, it's a cold Lone Star in my hand!
It's a quarter for the jukebox, boys,
Play some songs by your favorite Austin Texas band!
Yee-Hoo! That's what I like about Texas! Yehaw!
(NOTE: Last line of the chorus is sometimes sung as
Play the Sons of the Mother Lovin' Bunkhouse Band)
