If you've got a road map of Texas
You can see that it's a wide open state
From Amarillo down to Boulder
You can bet that it's a honky-tonky placeThey might like to rock 'n roll in Dallas
Or disco down on Galveston Bay
But when God made those West Texas cowboys
He gave them the Pecos PromenadeLead off with the Cotton-Eyed Joe
Buckin' winged and heel and toe
Hold me close for the Pecos PromenadeBig sign hangin' by the door
Sawdust on an old dance floor
Tip your hat for the Pecos PromenadeWhen the sun starts goin' down on the prairie
And the starlight falls on the state
That's when a cowgirl needs a cowboy
To do the Pecos PromenadeTonight's the first time I saw him
We can hear those twin fiddles play
Well Houston starts to feel like Lonestar Heaven
As we dance the Pecos PromenadeLead off with the Cotton-Eyed Joe
Buckin' winged and heel and toe
Hold me close for the Pecos PromenadeTip your hat for the Pecos Promenade
That's when a cowgirl needs a cowboy
To do the Pecos Promenade
