Miles and Miles of Texas

I was born in Lousiana down on the ol' bouyo Rasied on shrimps and catfish, mammy's good gumbo I got the ramblin' fever, said goodbye to ma and pa Crossed that ol' red river and this is what I saw I saw miles and miles of Texas All the stars up in the sky I saw miles and miles of Texas Gonna live here 'til I die I rode up in to Austin the cradle of the West Just ask any cowboy he'll tell you it's the best I met a Texas beauty, I got friendly with her pa I looked in to her big blue eyes this is what I saw I saw miles and miles of Texas All the stars up in the sky I saw miles and miles of Texas Gonna live here 'til I die I started tamin' broncos, I made every rodeo Until I met a tough one, you know his name-a was Devil Joe I grabbed hold of his bridle just to ride this ol' outlaw He threw me from the saddle and this is what I saw I saw miles and miles of Texas All the stars up in the sky I saw miles and miles of Texas Gonna live here 'til I die Miles of Texas Uahh now All night long Gonna live here 'til I die Ah, Texas
