Old 97's A State Of Texas
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
