Miles and Miles of Texas

I was born in Louisiana down on the ol bouyo Raised on shrimps and catfish Mame'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 till 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 till I die I started tamin' bronco's I made every rodeo Until I met a tuff one you know his name was devil Joe I grabb'd 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 till I die Miles of Texas Uaaah now All night long Gonna live here till I die Aaaaaaaah, Texas
