That's Right (You're Not From Texas)

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 wellSo pardon me my laughter

'Cause I sure do understand

Even Moses got excited

When he saw the promised landThat'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 anywayThat'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 anywaySee 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 TennesseeAnd 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 StateI 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 anywayThat'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 anywayOh 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 goodbyeThose boys from Carolina

They sure enough could sing

But when they came on down to Texas

We all showed them how to swingNow 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 armsThat'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 anywayThat'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 anywayThey're OK in Oklahoma

Up in Arkansas they're fair

But those old folks in Missouri

They don't even know you're thereBut 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 freeAnd 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 anywayThat'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 anywaySo 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 youYou 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 anywayThat'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
