Six o'clock silence of a new day beginning Is heard in a small Texas town Like a signal from nowhere the people who live there They're up and they're moving around 'Cause there's bacon to fry and there's biscuits to bake On the stove that the salvation army won't take You open the windows and you turn on the fan 'Cause it's hotter than hell when the sun hits the land Now Walter and fanny well they own the grocery That sells most all that you need They've...

We crossed the wild pecos We forded the nueces We swum the guadalupe And we followed the brazos Red river runs rusty The wichita clear But down by the brazos I courted my dear Singing li, li, li, le, le, le Lend me your hand Li, li, li, le, le, le Lend me your hand Li, li, li, le, le, le Lend me your hand There's many a river That waters the land Now the fair angelina Runs glossy and gliding The crooked colorado Runs weaving and winding The slow san antonio Courses and plains But I never w...

Well the last time I remember The train stopping at the depot Was when me and my Aunt Veta We came riding back from Waco Well I remember I was wearing My long pants and we was sharing Conversation with a man Who sold ball-point pens and paper And the train stopped once in Clifton Where my aunt bought me some ice cream And my mom was there to meet us When the train pulled into Kopperl But now kids at night break window lights And the sound of trains only remains In the memory of the ones like ...

St. Mother Maria, watch over us please As we wander around in this dangerous world Thank Mother Maria, there's nothing so sweet As the undying love of a South Texas girl The three in the front seat, they sat on each side That green and white '58 [Incomprehensible] It would drive down farm roads past open fields Seeming like no big deal As it was happening I never felt a thing But now looking back it seems like it was everything Singing with mom just so we could hear ourselves sing Stea...

Mary Martin was a schoolgirl just seventeen or so When she married Billy Archer about fourteen years ago Not even out of high school folks said, ‽It wouldn't last” But when you grow up in the country you grow up mighty fast They married in a hurry in March before school was out Folks said that she was pregnant "Just wait and you'll find out" It came about that winter one gray November morn The first of many more to come a baby boy was born And cattle is their game A...

Now I was driving down a West Texas highway I saw a hitchhiker and his thumb was pointing my way He didn't look suspicious He didn't look any too clean So I put on my brakes and I opened my door Could tell he was a bum by the muddy boot he wore He said, "I'm going down to Haskell Got a woman down in Abilene" He told me, "Son, East Texas is where I come from I've been riding that Jacksonville rodeo and I got humdrum I'm traveling around A whole lot of Texas I&#39...

You say you're not from Texas Man as if I couldn't tell You think you pull your boots on right And wear your hat so well So pardon me my laughter 'Cause I sure do understand Even Moses got excited When he saw the promised land That's right you're not from Texas That's right you're not from Texas That's right you're not from Texas But Texas wants you anyway That's right you're not from Texas That's right you're not from Texas That's right...
