[Verse 1]
If I left Texas, would your lone star stated blue
Bonnets even look my way?
And if I don't vote Republican
Can I still come home again around Christmas?

[Pre-Chorus]
Your big red arms held me
For so long it would seem
I'm in need of a blue state

[Chorus]
And you know I'll always call you home
But I don't know if I'll call home
When you don't wanna call me anything
And breakin' up with Texas didn't seem to be so reckless
But when you don't own a gun, it's a lot less fun
So goodbye Texas

[Verse 2]
If I left Texas, would that hot-headed sunset ever
Come rest her sweet head down right here?
And when I don't think it's selfish
To try to change yourself then
Oh, Texas, we don't see eye to eye
[Pre-Chorus]
You got wide open spaces, I know
But what was green now won't grow
I'm in need of a blue state

[Chorus]
And you know I'll always call you home
But I don't know if I'll call home
When you don't wanna call me anything
And breakin' up with Texas didn't seem to be so reckless
But when you don't own a gun, it's a lot less fun
So goodbye Texas

[Bridge]
I tell George and Tanya that I'm so sorry
But they hardly believe me again
I should've said this when I was thirteen
But I swear that I said things back then
I'd bet you on your yellow roses
You'll be the first to notice when I'm wrong
So goodbye Texas

[Outro]
Goodbye Texas, goodbye Texas, goodbye yellow roses
So goodbye Texas
Goodbye Texas, goodbye Texas, goodbye yellow roses
So goodbye Texas
Goodbye Texas, goodbye Texas, goodbye yellow roses
