You Can't Get The Hell Out Of Texas Lyrics - George Jones

On a highway deep within the heart of Texas 

I was just about as lost as I could be 

I was drivin' round in circles 

Tryin' to find the border 

But Texas was as far as I could see 

Hey! 

Well I stopped and flagged me down a State policeman 

I said my patience growin' mighty thin 

Can you help me get the hell out of Texas 

He just flashed me some ole lone star Texas grin 

And he said: 

You can't get the hell out of Texas 

No matter how hard you try 

Why in Texas we raise hell, son 

Just like you raise a crop 

It started with the Alamo 

And it aint gonna ever stop

As long as there's a Houston and Austin, 

Amarillo, Lubbock, Dallas and Fort Worth 

Lord, you can't get the hell out of Texas 

'Cause it's the hell raisin' center of the earth 

Whoa late last night I fell in love with Texas 

I called my dear sweet mamma on the phone 

I said i've seen the light aint life a joy 

I'm a changed man, I'm a good ole boy 

Mamma, I aint never comin' home, uh-uh 

For as long as there's a Houston and Austin, 

Tyler, Beaumont, Dallas and Fort Worth 

Lord, you can't get the hell out of Texas 

'Cause it's the hell raisin' center of the earth 

I said you can't get the hell out of Texas 

'Cause it's the hell raisin' center of the earth
