[Verse 1]
Blue eyes cried in the rain tears for it
Shiner Bock poured a beer for it
The Lone Star shinin' in the sky
Santa Anna tried for it
Davy Crockett died for it
If you've been there, you know why

[Pre-Chorus]
Sam Houston star-spangled it
Jerry Jeff Bojangled it

[Chorus]
You ain't been awake
'Til you wake up in Texas
You ain't felt heartbreak
'Til you break up in Texas
The best songs, the best bars
And you ain't seen stars
'Til you look up in Texas
Now out of ten, it's eleven
I bet even in Heavеn
They say "up in Texas"

[Verse 2]
They madе Lonesome Dove in it
Willie found his luck in it
Underneath the "come and take it" flag
Billy Graham prayed for it
Jerry Jones paid for it
It's hard to talk about and not brag
[Pre-Chorus]
Lucchese boots walked across it
Billy Bob's honky-tonked it

[Chorus]
You ain't been awake
'Til you wake up in Texas
You ain't felt heartbreak
'Til you break up in Texas
The best songs, the best bars
And you ain't seen stars
'Til you look up in Texas
Now out of ten, it's eleven
I bet even in Heaven
They say "up in Texas"

[Post-Chorus]
Oh, take me back to Texas, boys

[Chorus]
The best songs, the best bars
And you ain't seen stars
'Til you look up in Texas
Now out of ten, it's eleven
I bet even in Heaven
They say "up in Texas"
[Outro]
It's a blue-bonnet blessing
A red-sunset obsession
Bet even in Heaven
They say "up in Texas"
