Intro.:  |(G) |(Am) |(D) |(G) |(G) ---

I seen a (G)man on the TV he was (Am) out in California, (D) talkin' bout where we (G)came from
He said the reason we're all here (Am) is purely accidental, the (D)evidence all points to evo-(G)lution
Well, I (Am) took a drink of coffee, stepped (D)out on my front porch
I (Am)looked up at the sky and (D)out at my old horse and I thought

(Chorus)
He ain't never seen a (Am)sunset out west a (D)cactus or a paintbrush bloom in the (G)springtime
He ain't never seen a (Am)coyote crying (D)young colt take of running in the (G)sunshine
Well some-(Am)times we over think it, but I've (D)thought a lot about it
And the (G)only thing that (D/F#) makes any (Em)sense is
If you (Am)don't believe in God, (D) you ain't never been to (G)Texas

Inst.:  |(Am) |(D) |(G) |(G) ---

I wish (G)all the non believers could (Am)cross that old red river, (D) 'cause it would open up their (G)eyes
When I wake up every morning and I (Am) look out at heaven, (D) Lord it ain't hard to recog-(G)nize
If there's (Am) anybody out there still (D)trying to figure out
Ex-(Am)actly where we came from and what (D)life is all about, I'd say

(Chorus)
You ain't never seen a (Am)sunset out west a (D)cactus or a paintbrush bloom in the (G)springtime
You ain't never seen a (Am)coyote crying (D)young colt take of running in the (G)sunshine
Well some-(Am)times we over think it, but I've (D)thought a lot about it
And the (G)only thing that (D/F#) makes any (Em)sense is
If you (Am)don't believe in God, (D) you ain't never been to (G)Texas (Bm/F#) (Em)

(Tag)
Well, (D) if you (Am)don't believe in God, (D) you ain't never been to (G)Texas ---
