No Place But Texas

[Verse 1]
God painted the bluebonnets in the fields
By a tough little scrub oak on an East Texas hill
And he plucked the star from a lone star sky
And he put it in the twinkle of a cowboy's eye
The wide open spaces he made wild and free
Texas as far as any eye can see
And he made her sons grow tough and strong
They still cry when they hear a sad song

[Chorus]
No place but Texas
Would I ever roam
No place but Texas
My home, sweet home
No place but Texas
My home, sweet home

[Verse 2]
When I die I hope they bury me
By the Pedernales river beneath a white oak tree
Where I can see the longhorns graze
And the cactus flowers blooming in the morning haze

[Chorus]
No place but Texas
Would I ever roam
No place but Texas
My home, sweet home
No place but Texas
My home, sweet home
