And God Created Texas

God had a piece of heaven left over

And He held it in the palm of His hand

Put a lonestar high above it

Then set it down beside the Rio Grande

He made the horns on the steers a little longer

Put thorns on the black chaparral

Set the tumbleweeds to grow and the wind to make ‘em roll

And chase the diamond backs along the trail

And Texas was a place He created

The nearest place to heaven on this earth

Put a cowboy in a show and called it a rodeo

And put it in the middle of Ft. Worth

Then God said there´s just one thing missing

But soon it will come along

This land needs its own kind of music

So He willed a man named Bob to write the songs

He put Cotton Eyed Joe in the middle

Then put the fiddle in a masters hand

And when he stars all alone and plays the Rose of San Antone

Then He let the course of nature complete the plan
