A State of Texas

When the day breaks on Cedar Creek Lake
 Or my life rolls into Rome
 When the sun goes down on Austin town
 That's when I'll know I'm home
 What a time we'll have on Greenville Ave
 With the big shots in Big D
 I'm livin' in a state of Texas
 And Texas lives in me
 For the girls I've known in San Anton
 And out El Paso way
 My love grows like a yellow rose
 And will not fade away
 When you hold tight on a summer night
 I'm gone, yeah, I am free
 I'm livin' in a state of Texas
 And Texas lives in me
 I'm livin' in a state of Texas
 And Texas lives in me
 Like a mystery train or a magic trick
 Or a map of the world on a guitar pick
 I can't explain, I got to let it be
 The eyes of Texas are smiling on me
 Yeah, the eyes of Texas are smiling on me
 Where the bluebonnets thrive on I-35
 And the Guadalupe River flows
 Where the stars at night are a hell of a sight
 And the honkey-tonks never close
 When the mornin' sun rise and I open my eyes
 Yeah, that's all I wanna see
 I'm livin' in a state of Texas
 And Texas lives in me
 I'm livin' in a state of Texas
 And Texas lives in me
 I'm livin' in a state of Texas
 And Texas lives in me
