What I Like About Texas

Jerry Jeff Walker


Tom: G

G
You ask me what I like about Texas
   C
I tell you it's the wide open spaces!
      G                                         D
It's everything between the Sabine and the Rio Grande.
          G
It's the Llano Estacado,
          C
It's the Brazos and the Colorado;
G                                              D
       
Spirit of the people down here who share this land!

[Chorus]
C                G           C                    G
It's another burrito, it's a cold Lone Star in my hand
       C               Bm
It's a quarter for the jukebox boys
           Am                            D     G

Verse 2:
G
You ask me what I like about Texas
         C
It's the big timber round Nacadoches
     G                                 D
It's driving El Camino Real into San Antone
          G
It's the Riverwalk in Mi Tierra
 C
Dancing to the Cotton-eyed Joe
      G                                     D
It's stories of the Menger Hotel and the Alamo!

Chorus:

C                G           C                    G
It's another burrito, it's a cold Lone Star in my hand
       C               Bm
It's a quarter for the jukebox boys
           Am                            D     G

Verse 3:
G
Hey, you ask me what I like about Texas
      C
It's Blue Bonnets and indian paint brushes
G                                         D
Swimming in the sacred waters of Barton Springs
      G
It's body surfing the Frio
      C
It's Saturday night in Del Rio!
  G                                            D
Driving across the border for some cultural exchange!

Chorus:
C                G           C                    G
It's another burrito, it's a cold Lone Star in my hand
       C               Bm
It's a quarter for the jukebox boys
           Am                            D     G
