TEXAS HAS GOT IT ALL
Written by: Barry P. Foley Copyright © 12 May 2015
I went back east to go to college Cram my head full of higher knowledge Fell in love with that whole New England scene
Well, Mom and Dad came to up see me Saw every museum in this big ole city Really thought, they’d be proud of me
Went to dinner at the best joint in town We were just about to chow down I asked them to tell me what they really thought
Now, Daddy’s not a man of just a few words Mama kicked him in the shins before she heard Daddy go off ’bout what they ain’t got
They’ve got….no Walmarts, no trailer parks No donut shops like in Round Rock No Lone Star Beer, and no Gruene Hall No King Ranch, no Riverwalk No Alamo, and no Luckenbach You know Texas has got it all
Fast forward ‘bout 25 years When my own flesh and blood, she left in tears Went to New York City, to follow her dreams
Gave her space, let her spread her wings Let her make her own mistakes, do her thing But, after a month, she was begging to come back home
She said Daddy…They’ve got….no George Strait, no Pat Green No Dale Watson, no Robert Earl Keen No Willie Nelson singing about Me & Paul No Billy Bob's and no Cotton Club And Tejano is a word they ain't never heard You know Texas has got it all
We got H.E.B.s that sell that Shiner Bock And a big ole Whataburger really hits the spot Got Blue Bonnets blooming in the hills Longhorns, down in Kingsville You know Texas, has got it all
