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
