Bill Anderson - Sweet Texas lyrics

How did a cowboy in rough outs and wranglers

End up in New York alone

When does the next plane take off for Dallas

Sweet Texas, I'm coming home.

For the love of my homeland is deeper

Than even the cold snow that lies at my feet

There's a big rodeo out in San Angelo

Somebody save me a seat.

So poor me a cool one, play Ernest Tubbs

On the jukebox, sweet Texas

Bathe me with sunshine sing San Antonio Rose, sweet Texas

Talk to me gently for you are a lady, sweet Texas

You're a woman and a lover and home

To my wandering soul, sweet Texas.

My baby's in Houston and she's waitin' for me

And I'm telegraphin' the fare

Tonight we'll have tacos and hot angelottas

And a tall glass of cold Texas beer.

And I'm gonna hold her and waltz across Texas

Till the moon and the stars disappear

And the next time the man says go north for your fortune

I'll tell him my fortune's right here.

So poor me a cool one, play Ernest Tubbs

On the jukebox, sweet Texas

Bathe me with sunshine sing San Antonio Rose, sweet Texas

Talk to me gently for you are a lady, sweet Texas

You're a woman and a lover and home

To my wandering soul, sweet Texas...
