Tekst piosenki
Texas in October, is about as pretty as it gets But Texas in the springtime, is even prettier yet You miss it so much when you're gone It's hard for you to say Texas gets more beautiful, with every passing day Got a letter from my family, said they'd had a lot of rain It washed away the cotton crops, but all and all they can't complain 'Cause the bluebonnets are about to bloom again, And Ginger finally had her colt In Texas they don't worry much, about things they can't control Chorus: Keep Texas beautiful, keep Texas free Keep her wild and natural, just the way she ought to be This world is full of man-made wonders, Texas didn't come that way No, Texas came out beautiful, why not keep her that way? I've been out here working hard, trying to make ends meet But a float trip down the Rio Grande would sure do a lot for me A good night's sleep under a lot of stars With a sunrise crisp and clean And the smell of coffee boiling, by a big old pot of beans Chorus So in my dreams I'm driving home, I can see my daddy's face He's standing by the live oak tree, in our yard on Canyon Lake And I'm driving under miles and miles of clear blue Texas skies Some strangers in a pick-up truck, turn and wave as I drive by Chorus Yeah, Texas came out beautiful, why not keep her that way?
