(V1)
BEEN ON THE ROAD SO LONG GONE MISSIN’ MY TEXAS HOME
BACK AND FORTH AROUND THE NORTH TO THIS BAR STOOL ALL ALONE
FEELIN’ CONFINED JUST KILLING TIME TIL I CAN HEAD BACK WEST
AND GET BACK TO THAT OLD BAYOU CITY I LOVE BEST
(PER-CHORUS)
AS I WAS ABOUT TO CALL IT A NIGHT
I CAUGHT A GLIMPSE OF HER THROUGH A NEON LIGHT
(CHORUS 1)
SHE HAD A SILK LACE SHIRT, KING RANCH PURSE, LUCCHESE BOOTS AND GOLDEN TAN
RUBY RED LIPS, TORTILLA CHIPS, MARGARITA IN HER HAND
BIG BRIGHT EYES LIGHT PECAN PIES SAID DON’T TELL ME LET ME GUESS
YOU MUST BE FROM TEXAS
(V2)
WITHOUT A WORD SHE STOOD AND TURNED AS IF SHE HAD A PLAN
SET DOWN HER DRINK, SMILED AND WINKED AND POINTED TOWARD THE BAND
BE IT LUCK OR FATE THEY PLAYED GEORGE STRAIT THAT’ WHEN I KNES FOR SURE
HER AND ME WERE MEANT TO BE AS WE TWO STEPPED CROSS THE FLOOR
(PRE-CHORUS)
WE DANCE AND TALKED UNTIL THREE A.M.
SAID I LEARNED A LOT ABOUT YOU BUT TELL ME AGAIN
(CHORUS 2)
YOU LOVE THE RODEO THE ALAMO COUNTRY MUSIC AND DIXIELAND
HAVE A COUNTRY DRAW, SAY YA’LL, SMILE WIDER THAN THE RIO GRANDE
LIKE ARMADILLO’S AND PEANUT BRITTLE PLEASE TELL ME DO CONFESS
YOU MUST BE FROM TEXAS
(V3)
SHE SAID IT’S BEEN FUN BUT I’VE GOT TO RUN AS SHE CLIMBED INTO HER TRUCK
HOWS BOUT ME AND YOU, SOME BARBECUE AND SOME ICE COLD SHINER BOCH
I SAID THAT’S BE GREAT I CAN’T WAIT AT YOUR PLACE OR AT MINE
SHE HANDED ME A NOTE SHE WROTE WITH HER ADDRESS UNDERLINED
(PRE-CHORUS)
IT READ, HAD A GOOD TIME ON OUR FIRST DATE
I’LL SEE YA REAL SOON BACK IN THE LONE STAR STATE
(CHORUS 1)
SHE HAD A SILK LACE SHIRT, KING RANCH PURSE, LUCCHESE BOOTS AND GOLDEN TAN
RUBY RED LIPS, TORTILLA CHIPS, MARGARITA IN HER HAND
BIG BRIGHT EYES LIGHT PECAN PIES SAID DON’T TELL ME LET ME GUESS
YOU MUST BE FROM TEXAS
YEA YOU MUST BE FROM TEXAS
YOU COULDN’T BE FROM ANYWHERE ELSE BUT TEXAS
