Texas Is Still Home To Me
(Blakely/Chambers/Gil)

I've rambled many places
Far from the open spaces I call home
From New York out to 'Frisco
Across the Great Divide
I've made friends most everywhere I've gone

But not a day goes by
When I don't dream of those
Big Texas skies
Down many roads I've wandered
But Texas is still home to me

If home is where your heart is
Mine ain't hard to find
Across that old Red River
Inside the Texas line
Rememberin' Bob Wills
A band tonight is playin' Silver Bells
So many miles I am away
But Texas is still home to me

Steel guitars are ringin'
Twin fiddles playin' all night long
In my heart, I hear the music
And I'm dancin' in my mind
As the white lines are leading me home

Hey, just a few more miles
And I'll be home if only for a while
Don't many roads I've wandered
But Texas is still home to me

If home is where your heart is
Mine ain't hard to find
Across that old Red River
Inside the Texas line
Rememberin' Bob Wills
A band tonight is playin' Silver Bells
So many miles I am away
But Texas is still home to me


Ship My Body Back To Texas
(Baxter, Bruce)

Lookin' for some greener grass
I left my Lone Star home
Put my trust in wanderlust
Set out for parts unknown
I tried California,
Where it's summer all the time
But they dug up all the gold in '49

Chorus
Ship my body back to Texas
If I die out on the trail
I'm not picky where you bury me
Just put me in the mail
Lay me down in Cow Town
Where I'll never be alone
Or pushin' up the Rose of San Antone

I headed for Alaska
Where I thought I'd change my luck
But nights are long and cold
And lunch can cost you forty bucks
They're shuttin' down the Motor Town
The folks ain't sittin' pretty
And you can't walk the streets of New York City

Chorus

I spent my last ten dollars
Drinkin' rum down in the Keys
Shipped out on a freighter
I've seen more than Seven Seas
'Cause one square mile of ocean
Looks just like the one next to it
If I could find my way back home I'd do it

Chorus

Plant me in the parking lot
Outside the Astrodome
Or pushin' up the Rose of San Antonio
Pushin' up the Rose of San Antone

God Blessed Texas
Little Texas

I've seen a lot of places,
I've been around the world.
I've seen some pretty faces,
Been with some beautiful girls.
After all I've witnessed,
One thing still amazes me,
Just like a miracle,
You have to see to believe.

'Cause God blessed Texas
With His own hand.
Brought down angels
From the promised land.
He gave them a place
Where they could dance.
If you wanna see heaven, brother,
Here's your chance.
'Cause I've been sent
To spread the message:
God blessed Texas.

First He made the sunshine,
Then He made the water deep.
Then He gave us moonlight
For all the world to see.
Well, everybody knows
That the Lord works in mysterious ways.
He took a rest,
Then on the very next day

God blessed Texas
With His own hand.
Brought down angels
From the promised land.
He gave them a place
Where they could dance.
If you wanna see heaven, brother,
Here's your chance.
'Cause I've been sent
To spread the message:
God blessed Texas.

To spread the message:

Mmm-mmm.
I've been sent
To spread the message:
God blessed Texas.
