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

Yee-Hoo! That's what I like about 
Texas! Yehaw!
