Miles And Miles Of Texas

I was born in Louisiana, down on the ol' bayou
Rasied on shrimps and catfish, mammy's good gumbo
I got the ramblin' fever, said goodbye to Ma and Pa
Crossed that ol' red river, and this is what I saw

I saw miles and miles of Texas
All the stars up in the sky
I saw miles and miles of Texas
Gonna live here till I die

I rode up in to Austin the cradle of the West
Just ask any cowboy he'll tell you it's the best
I met a Texas beauty I got friendly with her Pa
I looked into her big blue eyes this is what I saw

I saw miles and miles of Texas
All the stars up in the sky
I saw miles and miles of Texas
Gonna live here till I die

I started tamin' broncos, I made every rodeo
Until I met a tough one you know his name was Devil Joe
I grabbed hold of his bridle just to ride this old outlaw
He threw me from the saddle and this is what I saw

I saw miles and miles of Texas
All the stars up in the sky
I saw miles and miles of Texas
Gonna live here till I die

Gonna live here till I die.
