How did a cowboy in rough outs and wranglers
End up in New York alone
When does the next plane take off for Dallas
Sweet Texas
I'm coming home

For the love of my homeland is deeper
Than even the cold snow that lies at my feet
There's a big rodeo out in San Angelo
Somebody save me a seat

So pour me a cool one
Play Ernest Tubb on the jukebox
Sweet Texas
Bathe me with sunshine
Sing San Antonio Rose
Sweet Texas

Talk to me gently for
You are a lady sweet Texas
You're a woman and a lover
And home to my wandering soul sweet Texas

My baby's in Houston
And she's waitin' for me
And I'm telegraphin' the fare
Tonight we'll have tacos and hot angelottas
And a tall glass of cold Texas beer

And I'm gonna hold her and waltz across Texas
Till the moon and the stars disappear
And the next time the man says
Go north for your fortune
I'll tell him my fortune's right here

So pour me a cool one p
Pay Ernest Tubb on the jukebox
Sweet Texas
Bathe me with sunshine sing
San Antonio Rose
Sweet Texas
Talk to me gently
For you are a lady sweet Texas
You're a woman and a lover
And home to my wandering soul
Sweet Texas
