WELCOME TO TEXAS
BRIAN BURNS

(E)WELCOME TO TEXAS, GLAD THAT YOU CAME DOWN
YOU’VE GOT A LOT OF FRIENDS HERE, TAKE A LOOK AROUND
THEY COME FROM CALIFORNIA, THEY COME FROM OHIO
THEY COME FROM MINNESOTA TO (A)GET OUT (G)OF THE (E)SNOW.

*YOU DON’T LIKE OUR DRIVING, YOU DON’T LIKE OUR ROADS
 YOU MAKE FUN OF THE WAY WE TALK, YOU MAKE FUN OF OUR CLOTHES
*BUT YOU CLOG UP OUR HIGHWAYS, YOU’VE BEEN POURIN IN FOR YEARS
 IF YOU DON’T LIKE THE WAY WE DO IT, WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE.

CHORUS
(A)WELCOME TO TEXAS, DON’T NOBODY GET ME (E)WRONG
(B#7)WE’RE GLAD YA’LL CAME TO SEE US, (A)JUST DON’T FORGET TO GO BACK (E)HOME.

*WE DON’T NEED YOUR POLITICS, WE DON’T NEED YOUR PRAYERS
*WE DON’T NEED YOUR MORAL COMPASS LEADIN US ANYWHERE
 WE DON’T NEED YOUR BUSINESS, WE DON’T NEED YOUR ART
*WE DON’T REALLY GIVE A DAMN WHAT IT WAS YOU DID UP NORTH

CHORUS

(A)YOU GRIPE ABOUT OUR MUSIC, GRIPE ABOUT OUR FOOD(G E)
GRIPE ABOUT THE WEATHER HERE, SAY IT’S WAY TOO HOT FOR YOU
(A)WE ALL HEAR YOUR WHININ’, AND ITS STARTS WEARING THIN
(B#7)WHEN WE SEE OUR MILK AND HONEY RUNNIN DOWN YOUR CHIN (G  E )

*SO, COME ON DOWN TO TEXAS AND HAVE YOURSELF A BALL
 TAKE YOUR KIDS TO SIX FLAGS, YOUR WIFE OUT TO THE MALL
*HAVE A GOOD VACATION, BUT THEN DON’T HESITATE
 TO POINT YOUR CAR BACK UP THE ROAD TO THAT OUTBOUND INTERSTATE.
