Old 97's - A State Of Texas lyrics

When the day breaks on Cedar Creek Lake Or my life rolls into Rome When the sun goes down on Austin town That's when I'll know I'm home What a time we'll have on Greenville Ave With the big shots in Big D I'm livin' in a state of Texas And Texas lives in me For the girls I've known in San Anton And out El Paso way My love grows like a yellow rose And will not fade away When you hold tight on a summer night I'm gone, yeah, I am free I'm livin' in a state of Texas And Texas lives in me I'm livin' in a state of Texas And Texas lives in me Like a mystery train or a magic trick Or a map of the world on a guitar pick I can't explain, I got to let it be The eyes of Texas are smiling on me Yeah, the eyes of Texas are smiling on me Where the bluebonnets thrive on I-35 And the Guadalupe River flows Where the stars at night are a hell of a sight And the honkey-tonks never close When the mornin' sun rise and I open my eyes Yeah, that's all I wanna see I'm livin' in a state of Texas And Texas lives in me I'm livin' in a state of Texas And Texas lives in me I'm livin' in a state of Texas And Texas lives in me
