What I Like About Texas Lyrics - Jerry Jeff Walker

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..
