Everything In Texas

I’ve never been to Texas, but I hear that it’s okay
Got the word from a Texan, who drifted far away
He spoke with easy feelings, with a sparkle in his eye
When he told me of Texas, how the sun sets in the sky

I didn’t want to bug him, for his reasons why he left
I could see he had his pride, and was living with regret
But I just had to ask him, of all the stories I heard
He said, “Son, no stories, you can believe every word.”  (voice change)

“Everything in Texas is so much bigger than life
The air so humid, you can cut it with a knife.
Highways all go straight, and there ain’t a tree in sight
You don’t ask questions, in the middle of the night
Everything in Texas is so much bigger than life.”

“The music in Texas, will make you cry in your beer
They don’t have Top 40, you hear the same songs all year
The people are crazy, they always think they’re right
Better mind your manners, ’cause the cowboys love to fight
Everything in Texas is so much bigger than life.”

It didn’t sound like heaven; it was more the tone of hell
The Texan kept on talking, he was as clear as a bell
Then he popped a grin, sure enough, he cracked a smile
He burst out laughing, and said, “It’s been awhile.”

“It’s so good to tell someone, who has never seen the state
Of all the natural beauty, the things that make it great
You can stop all the rumors, just tell your friends the facts
You heard it from a Texan, whose heart is aching to go back.”

At first I thought the reason, he left was for his health.
Then I started thinking, that I should go there myself
I wasn’t born yesterday, oh, I learned from my youth
The way to keep a secret, is by stretching the truth

The Texan told me stories, so I would stay away
Gave me the wrong idea, to make me glad to stay
He gave away the secret, when he remembered with a sigh
He couldn’t hide his feelings, or the sparkle in his eye. Saying….

“Everything in Texas is so much bigger than life
The air so humid, you can cut it with a knife
Highways all go straight, and there ain’t a tree in sigh
You don’t ask questions in the middle of the night
Everything in Texas is so much bigger than life

“The music in Texas will make you cry in your beer
They don’t have Top 40, you hear the same songs all year
The people are crazy, they always think they’re right
Better mind your manners, ’cause the cowboys love to fight.”
Everything in Texas is so much bigger than life

I’ve never been to Texas, but I hear that it’s okay
Got the word from a Texan, who drifted far away

Everything in Texas is so much bigger than life
Everything in Texas is so much bigger than life
