A State Of Texas Lyrics - The Grand Theatre Volume One - Old 97's

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
