Take Me To Texas

Take me to Texas 200 years ago

Where a pride rose from the ashes of San Jacinto

Still beats in every heart like a battle cry

Where I was born, where I was raised, so, when I dieTake me to Texas on the open range

The Rio Grande is in my veins

It's heaven there and so my prayer

Is that you'll take me anywhere in Texas

The only home I know

I'm a child of the Alamo

And the yellow rose

So when I go

Take me to TexasWhere my daddy worked

Where his blood and sweat and tears are still in that red dirt

Wild palominos run, cowboys are kings

And if I stray too far, I'll let my lone star dreamsTake me to Texas on the open range

The Rio Grande is in my veins

It's heaven there and so my prayer

Is that you'll take me anywhere in Texas

The only home I know

I'm a child of the Alamo

And the yellow rose

So when I go

Take me to TexasThere's something in the sky

And in your momma's eyes

So even if you try to move away

You'll end up on some road somewhere

With your thumb up in the air

When they ask you where you're headed, you'll just say

Take me toDallas, Ft. Worth to San Antone

Houston, Laredo, Galveston

Or Austin, maybe Abilene

The closest thing I've ever seen

To heaven's the Gulf of Mexico

I'm a child of the Alamo

And the yellow rose

So when I go

Take me to TexasTake me to Texas

Oh, take me to Texas

Take me to Texas
