If I chase my tequila with
an icecold beer
blame Texas
If I swear there ain't
no better place than here
blame Texas
If you think I say
a few words wrong
And find a way to put a
fiddle in every song
If I take George Strait
over Elvis blame Texas
But if you wonder why
she packed all her things
Left me back here alone
in the Lone Star state
Yeah I messed up
a good thing again
guess I just can't help it
She loved the wide-open skies
no she didn't wanna leave
Did her wrong
now she's gone
and it's all on me
Coming back no she ain't
Wish I could
but I can't blame Texas
If I got a little outlaw
in my blood blame Texas
If all my settle downs are
out on the road blame Texas
If you always see me
out in my cowboy hat
A little red on my neck
and some sweat on my back
If I ain't the kinda mess
to mess with blame Texas
So if you wonder why
she packed all her things
Left me back here alone
in the Lone Star state
Yeah I messed up
a good thing again
guess I just can't help it
She loved the wide-open skies
no she didn't wanna leave
Did her wrong
now she's gone
and it's all on me
Coming back no she ain't
Wish I could
but I can't blame Texas
I like a Shiner Bock longneck
and Sunday Cowboy football
And I can hold my own
on a pissed-off bull
But I can't hold onto
a woman at all
So if you wonder why
she packed all her things
Left me back here alone
in the Lone Star state
Yeah I messed up
a good thing again
guess I just can't help it
She loved the wide-open skies
no she didn't wanna leave
Did her wrong
now she's gone
and it's all on me
Coming back no she ain't
Wish I could
but I can't blame Texas
Coming back no she ain't
Wish I could
but I can't blame
Texas
God Bless Texas
