Lyrics
Some folks say that Texas is heaven, amen
The barbeque in Lockhart is famous
And Shiner's got the very best beer
Terlingua's got its chili
And of course there's George and Willie
It seems like everything that counts is here
Those East Texas pines are so lovely
Those West Texas skies are so blue
It always makes me shiver
When I see the Pecos River
And these places all look better
When I see them with you
Some folks say that Texas is heaven
And I can understand their point of view
But there's a difference between Texas and heaven
Texas still has you
Heaven's full of beautiful angels
Well, Texas also has quite a few
God has his kingdom in the skies up above
But He must have a ranch in Texas, too
Heaven's full of beautiful music
Well, Texans have songs that we hold dear
From all points on the map
Folks come to stomp and clap
Just like at them pearly gates
They're dying to get here
Some folks say that Texas is heaven
And I can understand their point of view
But there's a difference between Texas and heaven
Texas still has you
There's cotton, rice, and microchips
And lots of oil and horses
But a Texas girl like you
Is one of our best natural resources
I've been to many states in this Union
There are pretty sights everywhere I go
But still I always yearn
For your sweet kiss when I return
To that airport back in San Antonio
Some folks say that Texas is heaven
And I can understand their point of view
But there's a difference between Texas and heaven
Texas still has you
Yes, there's a difference between Texas and heaven
Texas still has you
