If You’re Not From Here

© 2002, Larry Mofle

D G D

I know some friends of mine that aren’t from the Lone Star State

D E7 A7

And you know I don’t mind, ‘cause I like to educate

D G D

So for those that aren’t from Texas, I’ll try to make it clear

D A7 D

Cause what I say will help you, if you’re not from here

Like saying “y’all” to a person instead of a group

Or floating down the waters of the Guadalupe

And on the Western plains where you can go to roam

Cause once you’re down in Texas you won’t want to go home

Chorus:

G D

If you’re not from here, there’s a few simple rules

G D A7

If you’re not from here, I’m here to give you some clues

D G D

So come on down to Texas and we’ll have a Lone Star beer

D A D

But make damn sure you know the way, if you’re not from here

There’s nothin’ you’ll like better than homemade barbecue

And “fixin” is a word that means somethin’ you’re gonna do

The boots we wear ain’t just for show nor is the Bowie knife

Cause when you’re down in Texas, it’s a natural way of life

The Alamo is a reverent place where you remove your hat

And people still sit on their front porch for a place to chat

When someone tells you something, you’ll know that it’s sincere

So come on down, say “Howdy”, even if you’re not from here
