You ask me what I like about Texas 
I tell you it's the wide open spaces! 
It's everything between the Sabine and the Rio Grande. 
It's the Llano Estacado, 
It's the Brazos and the Colorado; 
Spirit of the people down here who share this land! 
It's another burrito, it's a cold Lone Star in my hand 
It's a quarter for the jukebox, boys, 
Play the sons of the mothers of the bunkhouse band!

You ask me what I like about Texas 
It's the big timber round Nacadoches 
It's driving El Camino Real into San Antone 
It's the Riverwalk and Mi Tierra 
Jamm'n out with bongo Joe 
It's stories of the Menger Hotel and the Alamo! 
(You remember the Alamo!) 

It's another burrito, it's a cold Lone Star in my hand! 
It's a quarter for the jukebox, boys, 
Play the sons of the mother love'n bunkhouse band!

It's another burrito, it's a cold Lone Star in my hand! 
It's a quarter for the jukebox, boys, 
Play the sons of the mother love'n bunkhouse band!

Well, you ask me what I like about Texas 
It's Blue Bonnet and Indian paint brushes 
Swimming in the sacred waters of Barton Springs 
It's body surfing at Freo 
It's Saturday night in Del Rio! 
It's crossing over the border for some cultural exchange! 

It's another burrito, it's a cold Lone Star in my hand! 
It's a quarter for the jukebox, boys, 
Play the sons of the mother love'n bunkhouse band!

Well, you ask me what I like about Texas 
Well, I could tell you, but we'd be here all night long
