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
