Bellissima canzone scritta da Steven Dale Jones e Philip White e inclusa nel cd di George Strait intitolato Somewhere Down In Texas:
There wouldn’t be no Alamo/No Cowboys in the Super Bowl/No “Lonesome Dove”,/ No “Yellow Rose”/If it wasn’t for Texas.
I wouldn’t be a Willie fan/Nobody would swim the Rio Grand/I wouldn’t be an American/If it wasn’t for Texas.
CHORUS
Fort Worth would never cross my mind/There’d be no Austin city limit sign/
No Lone Star of any kind,/If it wasn’t for Texas.
I’d never gone to Tennessee/to sing my songs and chase my dreams, /Only heaven knows just where I’d be/If it wasn’t for Texas.
CHORUS
Fort Worth would never cross my mind/There’d be no Austin City limit sign/No Lone Star of any kind/If it wasn’t for Texas.
It made me the man I am, /Thank God for my old stomping ground./I wouldn’t be standing right here right now/If it wasn’t for Texas,
If it wasn’t for Texas,/If it wasn’t for Texas.
