[Verse 1]

Blue eyes cried in the rain tears for it

Shiner Bock poured a beer for it

The Lone Star shinin' in the sky

Santa Anna tried for it

Davy Crockett died for it

If you've been there, you know why

[Pre-Chorus]

Sam Houston star-spangled it

Jerry Jeff Bojangled it

[Chorus]

You ain't been awake

'Til you wake up in Texas

You ain't felt heartbreak

'Til you break up in Texas

The best songs, the best bars

And you ain't seen stars

'Til you look up in Texas

Now out of ten, it's eleven

I bet even in Heavеn

They say "up in Texas"

[Verse 2]

They madе Lonesome Dove in it

Willie found his luck in it

Underneath the "come and take it" flag

Billy Graham prayed for it

Jerry Jones paid for it

It's hard to talk about and not brag

[Pre-Chorus]

Lucchese boots walked across it

Billy Bob's honky-tonked it

[Chorus]

You ain't been awake

'Til you wake up in Texas

You ain't felt heartbreak

'Til you break up in Texas

The best songs, the best bars

And you ain't seen stars

'Til you look up in Texas

Now out of ten, it's eleven

I bet even in Heaven

They say "up in Texas"

[Post-Chorus]

Oh, take me back to Texas, boys

[Chorus]

The best songs, the best bars

And you ain't seen stars

'Til you look up in Texas

Now out of ten, it's eleven

I bet even in Heaven

They say "up in Texas"

[Outro]

It's a blue-bonnet blessing

A red-sunset obsession

Bet even in Heaven

They say "up in Texas"
