There wouldn't be no Alamo No cowboys in the Superbowl No Lonesome Dove No yellow rose I wouldn't be a Willy fan Nobody would swim the Rio Grand I wouldn't be an American If it weren't for Texas Fort Worth would never cross my mind There'd be no Austin City Limit sign No Lonestar of any kind If it wasn't for Texas I'd never gone to Tennesee to sing my songs and chase my dreams Only heaven knows where'd I'd be If it wasn't for Texas Fort Worth would never cross my mind There'd be no Austin City Limit sign No Lonestar of any kind If it wasn't for Texas It made me the man I am Thank god for my old stomping ground I wouldn't be standing right here right now If it wasn't for Texas If it wasn't for Texas
