You're From Texas
Well pardon me stranger, I hope there's no danger
You'll think I'm getting off of my range
Well but I calculate (what's that Jason?) that you're from my state
And though you may think it's strange
Well I allow as how you're from Texas (oh, yes sir!)
You talk a lingo that I understand
And I'll bet my kale that you hail from Texas (Austin, Texas Jason)
'Cause there's no mistaking the brand
You've got a smile like an acre of sunflowers
And your eyes are a blue bonnet blue (oh!)
Oh shake hands it's grand that you're from Texas (here we go)
'Cause I'm from Texas too (yes you are!)
All the way from New Braunfels, Texas
John Michael!
Right here, now, Jason
Well pardon me stranger, I hope there's no danger
You'll think I'm getting off of my range
Oh but I calculate (tell me, boss) that you're from my state (right!)
And though...
Well I allow as how you're from Texas
You talk a lingo that I understand
I'll bet my kale that you hail from Lampasas, Texas (you'd be right)
'Cause there's no mistaking, no mistaking the sound
You've got a smile like an acre of sunflowers
And your eyes are a blue bonnet blue
Oh shake hands it's grand that you're from Texas (here we go)
'Cause I'm from Texas too (yes you are!)
You'll think I'm getting off of my range
Well but I calculate (what's that Jason?) that you're from my state
And though you may think it's strange
Well I allow as how you're from Texas (oh, yes sir!)
You talk a lingo that I understand
And I'll bet my kale that you hail from Texas (Austin, Texas Jason)
'Cause there's no mistaking the brand
You've got a smile like an acre of sunflowers
And your eyes are a blue bonnet blue (oh!)
Oh shake hands it's grand that you're from Texas (here we go)
'Cause I'm from Texas too (yes you are!)
All the way from New Braunfels, Texas
John Michael!
Right here, now, Jason
Well pardon me stranger, I hope there's no danger
You'll think I'm getting off of my range
Oh but I calculate (tell me, boss) that you're from my state (right!)
And though...
Well I allow as how you're from Texas
You talk a lingo that I understand
I'll bet my kale that you hail from Lampasas, Texas (you'd be right)
'Cause there's no mistaking, no mistaking the sound
You've got a smile like an acre of sunflowers
And your eyes are a blue bonnet blue
Oh shake hands it's grand that you're from Texas (here we go)
'Cause I'm from Texas too (yes you are!)
