Lyrics

?TEXAS IS MISSING YOU?

WRITER: Dustin James

YOU?D BE HAPPY TO KNOW THAT THE OLD ALAMO
IS STILL STANDING TALL AND PROUD IN SAN ANTON?
AND THE MIGHTY RIO GRANDE SHE STILL CUTS ACROSS THE LAND
TO SAY HOWDY TO THE GULF OF MEXICO

THOSE STARS WAY UP HIGH STILL LIGHT UP THAT PRAIRIE SKY
AND THE COYOTES ARE STILL HOWLING AT THE MOON
THE GUADALUPE STILL RUNS COLD ALL THE FOLKS STILL RODEO
AND THE BLUEBONNETS STILL BLOOM IN EARLY JUNE

CHORUS
BOUT THE ONLY THING TEXAS IS MISSING NOW IS YOU
AND IF YOU WANT THE TRUTH WELL I AM TOO
THE STATE I?M IN HAS UP AND CHANGED AND I?D SAY THAT YOU?RE TO BLAME
CAUSE THE ONLY THING TEXAS IS MISSING NOW IS YOU

THOSE HOUSTON CITY-LIGHTS THEY?RE STILL BURNING JUST AS BRIGHT
AS THEY WERE THE NIGHT YOU SWORE YOU?D NEVER LEAVE
AND THE OIL-WELLS IN SEGUIN THEY STILL PUMP THAT TEXAS TEA
LIKE THEY DID THE DAY THAT YOU WALKED OUT ON ME

THE TUMBLEWEEDS STILL BLOW DOWN THE STREETS OF EL PASO
AND THE DESERT WIND STILL DANCES WITH THE SAND
OLD BOB WILLS IS STILL THE KING I?M STILL PAYING ON THIS RING
THAT SOMEHOW FOUND IT?S WAY RIGHT OFF YOUR LEFT HAND

REPEAT CHORUS

YES EVERYTHING IS IN IT?S PLACE ALL ACROSS THE LONE-STAR STATE
BOUT THE ONLY THING TEXAS IS MISSING NOW IS YOU
