That's Right Lyrics - Lovett Lyle

You say you're not from Texas 

Man as if I couldn't tell 

You think you pull your boots on right 

And wear your hat so well 

So pardon me my laughter 

'Cause I sure do understand 

Even Moses got excited 

When he saw the promised land 

That's right you're not from Texas 

That's right you're not from Texas 

That's right you're not from Texas 

But Texas wants you anyway 

That's right you're not from Texas 

That's right you're not from Texas 

That's right you're not from Texas 

But Texas wants you anyway 

See I was born and raised in Texas 

And it means so much to me 

Though my girl comes from down in Georgia 

We were up in Tennessee 

And as we were driving down the highway 

She asked me baby what's so great 

How come you're always going on 

About your Lone Star State 

I said that's right you're not from Texas 

That's right you're not from Texas 

That's right you're not from Texas 

But Texas wants you anyway 

That's right you're not from Texas 

That's right you're not from Texas 

That's right you're not from Texas 

But Texas wants you anyway 

Oh the road it looked so lovely 

As she stood there on the side 

And she grew smaller in my mirror 

As I watched her wave goodbye 

Those boys from Carolina 

They sure enough could sing 

But when they came on down to Texas 

We all showed them how to swing 

Now David's on the radio 

And old Champ's still on the guitar 

And Uncle Walt he's home with Heidi 

Hiding in her loving arms 

That's right you're not from Texas 

That's right you're not from Texas 

That's right you're not from Texas 

But Texas wants you anyway 

That's right you're not from Texas 

That's right you're not from Texas 

That's right you're not from Texas 

But Texas wants you anyway 

They're OK in Oklahoma 

Up in Arkansas they're fair 

But those old folks in Missouri 

They don't even know you're there 

But at a dance hall down in Texas 

That's the finest place to be 

The women they all look beautiful 

And their men will buy your beer for free 

And they'll say that's right you're not from Texas 

That's right you're not from Texas 

That's right you're not from Texas 

But Texas wants you anyway 

That's right you're not from Texas 

That's right you're not from Texas 

That's right you're not from Texas 

But Texas wants you anyway 

So won't you let me help you Mister 

Just pull your hat down the way I do 

And buy your pants just a little longer 

And next time somebody laughs at you 

You just tell 'em you're not from Texas 

That's right you're not from Texas 

That's right you're not from Texas 

But Texas wants you anyway 

That's right you're not from Texas 

That's right you're not from Texas 

That's right you're not from Texas 

But Texas wants you anyway
