Take Me To Texas

Take me to Texas 200 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 is 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 just say

Take me to Dallas, Fort Worth or 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, mm-hm

Take me to Texas

Oh, take me to Texas

Take me to Texas
