Song Description

I know this is a simple tune but I love the way it's sort of tongue in check and I like the way its produced. I think it would make a good song to use in a commerical, movie and so forth. Plus, its just a fun song. Think Bluegrass, roots on this one.

My love for Texas started
When Dad was in the rodeo
My Mama used to sing with the radio
She'd sing I'm going to Texas
There's nothing bigger than Texas.

When I was just a girl of three
My mama sat me on her knee
She said,"that's how you came to be."
That sweet talking Daddy and Me.

Chorus:

Oh, Texas
My Mama was so happy in Texas
Anyway she had a fondness for Texas
She said,"There's nothing better than Texas."

I'm going seek my fortune underneath the Texas stars
But, If I get side tracked by a good-looking guy
I quess that's how its meant to be...
That sweet-talking Texas Cowboy and me.

Chorus:

Oh, Texas
Sipping my Tequila in Texas
See you later Gator
in Texas.

Bridge:

Get out of my way
I'm going to start a brand new day
In Texas.

Dobe...Dobe..Dobe...Dobe
Hey, Hey

Tag:

There's no better place on the
Face of this earth...

Than Texas!

Dobe, Dobe, Dobe....Dobe.
