C                                 
She was born in College Station; 
F                        C
her daddy had a farmer?s PHD
C                                 
Her first steps were taken with 
  G
the Corps on Kyle Field
C                              F 
When she graduated, she bought a 
                   C
maroon pick-up truck
C                                 
They celebrated down at the Dixie 
G                             
Chicken when she opened her vet 
           C
practice up
C                       F        
Now he was born Austin, his daddy
                          C
 had a store down on the drag
C                               
Ever since the school had opened, 
   G
relatives were Longhorn grads
C                            F   
His room was painted orange, he 
                   C
was getting his degree
C                              
In the band playing French horn, 
    G                C
first row, second seat

Am         G
Gig ?em Aggies, Hook ?em Horns
F                  G          C
One side?s maroon, the other, burnt 
orange

C                        F       
He saw her at a concert, way 
               C
before Robert Earl Keen
C                               G
She was wearin? an Aggie shirt, to 
him it didn?t mean a thing
C                              
He pushed his way on through the 
        F                          
crowd like any ol? hungry bull 
    C
would do
C                                 
When he was close enough he 
   G                       C
shouted, "Hey, mind if I sit by 
you?"
C                                 
She turned around and stared at 
   F                      C
him, couldn?t believe her eyes
C                           
He had a burnt orange jacket, 
  G
Longhorns from side to side
C                              
Well she looked again and took a 
          F                     C
chance, said "That?s OK with me"
C                               G
Something in that second chance 
                    C
went beyond the rivalry

C                         F
When your eyes are closed and you?re
 in the dark,
C               G          C
The colors are all the same
C                       F        
Just two beating hearts not 
         C
playing any games
Am          G
You can gig ?em, you can hook ?em
Continues after the ad
F            G
One thing?ll never change
C                         F
When your eyes are closed and you?re
 in the dark,
C              G         C

C                                 
When she went to meet his Mother, 
F                         C
she was wearing a cowboy hat
C                             
When they left they hugged each 
         G
other, Mom said, "You?re always 
welcome back"
C                                
When she took him home to Daddy, 
F                               
she worried about the ring in his 
   C
ear
C                               G
He was makin? pretty good money 
                            C
but his tattoo was pretty clear
C                                 
Well they decided to get married, 
F                    C
bridesmaids wore maroon
C                             
The ring bearer carried a burnt 
         G
orange package to the groom
C                              F 
Well the ring that he gave her 
                            C
was diamond mounted on two thumbs
C                             G  
Sitting on a Longhorn cradle, 
                       C
cause when it?s said and done

C                         F
When your eyes are closed and you?re
 in the dark,
C               G          C
The colors are all the same
C                       F        
Just two beating hearts not 
         C
playing any games
Am          G
You can gig ?em, you can hook ?em
F            G
One thing?ll never change
C                         F
When your eyes are closed and you?re
 in the dark,
C              G         C
The colors are all the same

C                                 
Now all they had to do was figure 
     F                   C
out where they?re gonna live
C                                 
Well they flipped a coin and that 
       G
is how she got her way over his
C                        
Well they vacationed up in 
             F                  
Kerrville, they went down to the 
      C
coast
C                                 
Their first born they named Earl, 
G                             C
you should have heard them boast
C                           F    
Every year at Thanksgiving, Earl 
                    C
could take either side
C                                 
All the birthday gifts he was 
  G
given were hints they couldn?t hide
C                                
There were 12th man T-shirts and 
F                    C
Longhorns of every size
C                         G      
His first two words were, "Gig 
                             C
?em Bevo", always playing both sides

Am         G
Gig ?em Aggies, Hook ?em Horns
F                  G          C
One side?s maroon, the other, burnt 
orange

C                                 
When it came time to go to 
  F                        C
college, Earl didn?t know what to do
C                             G
His Dad wanted him in Austin, his 
Mom in maroon
C                              F 
Well, the moral of this story, is
                         C
 if you listen to this song
C

            G                      
college?, well , you just might be 
     C
wrong
C                                 
Well he tried both universities 
  F                         C
and you don?t have to wonder how
C
He says with all sincerity...
G                              C
"I?m a Southwest Texas Bobcat now!"

C                         F

C                       F
