It's A Texas Thing
By Gary P. Nunn

          C
Well it's not just a state, it's a whole state of mind
        F                                      C 
You can feel it as soon as you cross the state line
     F                                    C
It's deep in our hearts, our soul and our jeans
   C                      G           C
If you're from Texas, you know what I mean


Chorus 1:
             F
Cause it's a Texas thing
              C
Longnecks and western swing
                        G
It's the River Walk and Barton Springs
                C 
And a cold Lone Star
                        F  
It's the way we like to sing
                        C
In a dance hall down in Gruene
               G  
Eatin' BBQ and pinto beans
                 C
With a cold Lone Star

Instrumental

Chorus 2:
Cause it's a texas thing
Longnecks and western swing
It's the River Walk and Leon Springs
And cold Lone Star
It's the way that we like to sing
At Luckenbach and down in Gruene
Enchiladas and refried beans
With a cold lone star

Instrumental

Chorus 3:
Cause it's a Texas thing
Longnecks and western swing
Groovin on the local music scene
And a cold Lone Star
It's the weather we like to sing
In a dance hall down
Havin' BBQ and pinto beans
With a cold Lone Star


Everybody doin' the Texas thing
With a cold Lone Star
