What I Like About Texas Lyrics

Jerry Jeff Walker



You ask me what I like about Texas

I tell you it's the wide open spaces!

It's everything between the Sabine and the Rio Grande.

It's the Llano Estacado,

It's the Brazos and the Colorado;

Spirit of the people down here who share this land!



It's another burrito, it's a cold Lone Star in my hand

It's a quarter for the jukebox boys

Play the Sons of the Mother Lovin' Bunkhouse Band



You ask me what I like about Texas

It's the big timber round Nacadoches

It's driving El Camino Real into San Antone

It's the Riverwalk in Mi Tierra

Dancing to the Cotton-eyed Joe

It's stories of the Menger Hotel and the Alamo!



It's another burrito, it's a cold Lone Star in my hand!

It's a quarter for the jukebox boys

Play The Son's of the Mother Lovin' Bunkhouse Band



Hey, you ask me what I like about Texas

It's Blue Bonnets and indian paint brushes

Swimming in the sacred waters of Barton Springs

It's body surfing the 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

Plays The Son's of the Mother Lovin' Bunkhouse Band



It's another burrito, with a cold Lone Star in my hand!

It's a quarter to four, the jukebox boy

Play The Son's of the Mother Lovin' Bunkhouse Band



You ask me what I like about Texas



Spoken: 

I could tell you...but it would take all night long..
