That's Right (You're Not From Texas)
You say you're not from Texas
Man, as if I couldn't tell
You think you pull your boots on right
And wear your hat so well
So pardon me my laughter
'Cause I sure do understand
Even Moses got excited
When he saw the promised land
That's right you're not from Texas
That's right you're not from Texas
That's right you're not from Texas
Texas wants you anyway
That's right you're not from Texas
That's right you're not from Texas
That's right you're not from Texas
Texas wants you anyway
See I was born and raised in Texas
And it means so much to me
Though my boyfriend comes from down in Georgia
We were up in Tennessee
And as we were driving down the highway
He asked me Baylee, what's so great
How come you're always going on
About your Lone Star State
I said that's right you're not from Texas
That's right you're not from Texas
That's right you're not from Texas
Texas wants you anyway
That's right you're not from Texas
That's right you're not from Texas
That's right you're not from Texas
Texas wants you anyway
Oh the road it looked so lovely
As he stood there on the side
He grew smaller in the mirror
As I watched him wave goodbye
They're OK in Oklahoma
Up in Arkansas they're fair
But those old folks in Missouri
They don't even know you're there
Oh, but here in Lubbock, Texas
It's the finest place to be
The people here are beautiful
And the sunsets you can watch for free
That's right you're not from Texas
That's right you're not from Texas
That's right you're not from Texas
Texas wants you anyway
That's right you're not from Texas
That's right you're not from Texas
That's right you're not from Texas
Texas wants you anyway
So won't you let me help you Mister
Just pull your hat down the way I do
And buy your pants just a little longer
And next time somebody laughs at you
You just tell 'em you're not from Texas
That's right you're not from Texas
That's right you're not from Texas
Texas wants you anyway
That's right you're not from Texas
That's right you're not from Texas
That's right you're not from Texas
Texas wants you anyway
Man, as if I couldn't tell
You think you pull your boots on right
And wear your hat so well
So pardon me my laughter
'Cause I sure do understand
Even Moses got excited
When he saw the promised land
That's right you're not from Texas
That's right you're not from Texas
That's right you're not from Texas
Texas wants you anyway
That's right you're not from Texas
That's right you're not from Texas
That's right you're not from Texas
Texas wants you anyway
See I was born and raised in Texas
And it means so much to me
Though my boyfriend comes from down in Georgia
We were up in Tennessee
And as we were driving down the highway
He asked me Baylee, what's so great
How come you're always going on
About your Lone Star State
I said that's right you're not from Texas
That's right you're not from Texas
That's right you're not from Texas
Texas wants you anyway
That's right you're not from Texas
That's right you're not from Texas
That's right you're not from Texas
Texas wants you anyway
Oh the road it looked so lovely
As he stood there on the side
He grew smaller in the mirror
As I watched him wave goodbye

That's right you're not from Texas
That's right you're not from Texas
That's right you're not from Texas
Texas wants you anyway
That's right you're not from Texas
That's right you're not from Texas
That's right you're not from Texas
Texas wants you anyway
So won't you let me help you Mister
Just pull your hat down the way I do
And buy your pants just a little longer
And next time somebody laughs at you
You just tell 'em you're not from Texas
That's right you're not from Texas
That's right you're not from Texas
Texas wants you anyway
That's right you're not from Texas
That's right you're not from Texas
That's right you're not from Texas
Texas wants you anyway
