    You say you're not from Texas
    Man as if I couldn't tell
    You think you pull your boots on right
    And wear your hat so well
    So pardon me my laughter
    'Cause I sure do understand
    Even Moses got excited
    When he saw the promised land
    That's right you're not from Texas
    That's right you're not from Texas
    That's right you're not from Texas
    But Texas wants you anyway
    That's right you're not from Texas
    That's right you're not from Texas
    That's right you're not from Texas
    But Texas wants you anyway
    See I was born and raised in Texas
    And it means so much to me
    Though my girl comes from down in Georgia
    We were up in Tennessee
    And as we were driving down the highway
    She asked me baby what's so great
    How come you're always going on
    About your Lone Star State
    I said that's right you're not from Texas
    That's right you're not from Texas
    That's right you're not from Texas
    But Texas wants you anyway
    That's right you're not from Texas
    That's right you're not from Texas
    That's right you're not from Texas
    But Texas wants you anyway
    Oh the road it looked so lovely
    As she stood there on the side
    And she grew smaller in my mirror
    As I watched her wave goodbye
    Those boys from Carolina
    They sure enough could sing
    But when they came on down to Texas
    We all showed them how to swing
    Now David's on the radio
    And old Champ's still on the guitar
    And Uncle Walt he's home with Heidi
    Hiding in her loving arms
    That's right you're not from Texas
    That's right you're not from Texas
    That's right you're not from Texas
    But Texas wants you anyway
    That's right you're not from Texas
    That's right you're not from Texas
    That's right you're not from Texas
    But Texas wants you anyway
    They're OK in Oklahoma
    Up in Arkansas they're fair
    But those old folks in Missouri
    They don't even know you're there
    But at a dance hall down in Texas
    That's the finest place to be
    The women they all look beautiful
    And the men will buy your beer for free
    And they'll say that's right you're not from Texas
    That's right you're not from Texas
    That's right you're not from Texas
    But Texas wants you anyway
    That's right you're not from Texas
    That's right you're not from Texas
    That's right you're not from Texas
    But Texas wants you anyway
    So won't you let me help you Mister
    Just pull your hat down the way I do
    And buy your pants just a little longer
    And next time somebody laughs at you
    You just tell 'em you're not from Texas
    That's right you're not from Texas
    That's right you're not from Texas
    But Texas wants you anyway
    That's right you're not from Texas
    That's right you're not from Texas
    That's right you're not from Texas
    But Texas wants you anyway

    Texas Women - Hank Williams, Jr.

    I've got some fond memories of San Angelo, and I've seen some beauty queens in El Paso, but the best lookin women that I've ever seen, have all been in Texas and all wearin jeans

    Chorus:
    I'm a country plowboy, not an urban cowboy, and I dont ride bulls but I have fought some men, drive a pickup truck, trust in God and luck and I live to love Texas women.

    I thought I'd seen beauty in faraway places, till I looked upon those Houston faces, spent Hollywood nights up in Beverly Hills, but they werent nothin like one night down in BROWNSVILLE

    Repeat Chorus

    I'm a pretty fair judge of the opposite sex, and I aint seen nothin that will touch em' yet, they may be from Waco or out in Lampassas, but one thing about it they all come from Texas.

    Repeat Chorus

    I'm an Oiler fan not a soccer man, and my arms are red and so is my blood, and they make it boil with that soft Texas drawl and I love em all, Texas women.

    I love that song Lisa. I've got it on my hard drive. Let me play it now.

    Can you hear it? Reminds me of my high school days (ah for a 30 inch waist again)

    So anyone coming in, we just had a real frog strangler pass this way. 80 mph winds that blew one of my trees over.

    And darkness fell over the jungle . . . . . .

    Whew !

    That was some storm wasn't it Cris ? Our electric was off for over an hour and we lost a few shingles. I hope it didn't hurt anybody. And I wonder if Scarborough Faire had any damage? It will be soaking wet there for sure.

    you know that storm that passed over your neck of the woods yesterday, Amy? It came straight here. I lost power for hours...hell, I don't know when it came back since I'd gone to bed.

    And more rain today.../sigh

    Friday we warm up to like 87F but with the ground soaked it's going to be hot and humid. Then Saturday looking at 88 - 90F....

    Welcome to Texas, y'all
