take me to texas

Lyrics

take me to texas, two hundred years ago, where a pride rose from the ashes of san jacinto, it still beats in every heart, like a battle cry, where i was born, where i was raised, so when i die, take 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 texas, where 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 dreams, take 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 texas, there'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 say, take me to dallas, fort worth, 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 texas, mhmmm, take me to texas, oh, take me to texas, take me to texas
