Old 97s - A State Of Texas lyrics

rate me

When the day breaks on Cedar Creek Lake

Or my life rolls into Rome

When the sun goes down on Austin town

That's when I'll know I'm home

What a time we'll have on Greenville Ave

With the big shots in Big D

I'm livin' in a state of Texas

And Texas lives in me

For the girls I've known in San Anton

And out El Paso way

My love grows like a yellow rose

And will not fade away

When you hold tight on a summer night

I'm gone, yeah, I am free

I'm livin' in a state of Texas

And Texas lives in me

I'm livin' in a state of Texas

And Texas lives in me

Like a mystery train or a magic trick

Or a map of the world on a guitar pick

I can't explain, I got to let it be

The eyes of Texas are smiling on me

Yeah, the eyes of Texas are smiling on me

Where the bluebonnets thrive on I-35

And the Guadalupe River flows

Where the stars at night are a hell of a sight

And the honkey-tonks never close

When the mornin' sun rise and I open my eyes

Yeah, that's all I wanna see

I'm livin' in a state of Texas

And Texas lives in me

I'm livin' in a state of Texas

And Texas lives in me

I'm livin' in a state of Texas

And Texas lives in me
