Bill Anderson - Sweet Texas lyrics

rate me

How did a cowboy in rough outs and wranglers end up in New York alone

When does the next plane take off for Dallas sweet Texas I'm coming home

For the love of my homeland is deeper than even the cold snow that lies at my feet

There's a big rodeo out in San Angelo somebody save me a seat

So poor me a cool one play Ernest Tubb on the jukebox sweet Texas

Bathe me with sunshine sing San Antonio Rose sweet Texas

Talk to me gently for you are a lady sweet Texas

You're a woman and a lover and home to my wandering soul sweet Texas

My baby's in Houston and she's waitin' for me and I'm telegraphin' the fare

Tonight we'll have tacos and hot angelottas and a tall glass of cold Texas beer

And I'm gonna hold her and waltz across Texas till the moon and the stars disappear

And the next time the man says go north for your fortune

I'll tell him my fortune's right here

So poor me a cool one...
