I was born in Lousiana down on the ol bouyo Rasied 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 craddle of the west Just ask any cowboy he'll tell you it's the best I met a texas bueaty 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' bronko'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
