Spirit of the people down here who share this land!

Verse 2:
GYou ask me what I like about Texas
It's the Cbig timber round Nacadoches

It's the RGiverwalk in Mi Tierra
DCancing to the Cotton-eyed Joe
It's sGtories of the Menger Hotel and the AlaDmo!

CIt's another burrGito, it's a Ccold Lone Star in my Ghand
It's a Cquarter for the Bmjukebox boys

DrGiving across the border for some cultural excDhange!
Chorus:
CIt's another burrGito, it's a Ccold Lone Star in my Ghand
It's a Cquarter for the Bmjukebox boys
