Heart Of Texas

The heart of Texas is where I was born

By twist of fate the lone star state’s where I’m coming from

God almighty’s been good to me

With a swelling pride down deep inside me saying go man go

You can be all you want to be

Yeah it’s right there where the best is

Smack dab in the heart of Texas thank you Ma’am

Mama picked cotton just to raise us kids in the Texas sun

We grew up in the cotton fields

I learned how to put a bunch of words together as the years rolled by

God gave me a way to go

She said I love you honey but there ain’t much money in a serenade

I need a man with a real job

Now she’s back there where I left her

God knows I still think about her now and then

But she knows these clothes I’m wearing

Is the kind that shirt tails always flapping in the wind

Been over the water couldn’t get no hotter then I dang near froze

Remember the Alamo

I was Texas born and raised and Texas is still my home

Texas is home sweet home

Yeah it’s right there where the best is

Smack dab in the heart of Texas thank you man

Where my songs are always playing

And them good ol´ Texas gals say honey where you been

Yeah it’s right back there where the best is

Smack dab in the heart of Texas thank you man
