Oh
Texas, my Texas
Fair land of the sun
Oh Texas, my Texas
What
have you become
Your cowboys and ranches
Have all come and gone
And strip
malls and freeways
Have you overrun
Your idea of freedom
Is under the gun
And Texas, poor Texas
The West has been won
Oh Texas, my Texas
our tears have begun
the breath of your beauty
from us has been wrung
And Texas, sweet Texas
When all’s said and done
A vanishing Texas
Recedes with the sun.
