When the day breaks on Cedar Creek Lake

Or my life rolls into Rome

When the sun goes down on Austin town

That's when I'll know I'm home

What a time we'll have on Greenville Ave

With the big shots in Big D

I'm livin' in a state of Texas

And Texas lives in me

For the girls I've known in San Anton

And out El Paso way

My love grows like a yellow rose

And will not fade away

When you hold tight on a summer night

I'm gone, yeah, I am free

I'm livin' in a state of Texas

And Texas lives in me

I'm livin' in a state of Texas

And Texas lives in me

Like a mystery train or a magic trick

Or a map of the world on a guitar pick

I can't explain, I got to let it be

The eyes of Texas are smiling on me

Yeah, the eyes of Texas are smiling on me

Where the bluebonnets thrive on I-35

And the Guadalupe River flows

Where the stars at night are a hell of a sight

And the honkey-tonks never close

When the mornin' sun rise and I open my eyes

Yeah, that's all I wanna see

I'm livin' in a state of Texas

And Texas lives in me

I'm livin' in a state of Texas

And Texas lives in me

I'm livin' in a state of Texas

And Texas lives in me
