Re: My turn
Does anyone remember learning the millions of songs that had to do with Texas in grade school?
Texas
Land of blue bonnets and the mockingbirds
We're singing 'bout Texas
We're singing cowboys and their herds
Texas
Some folk call it THE LONE STAR STATE
Texas is our home
WE LOVE IT!!!
It's part of the good ole USA. . .
and. . .
Texas
I like the sound of the name
Cause next to Texas, there's nothing quite the same
Texas
I like the sound of the word
Cause when that word is heard
It puts a lump in my throat
It puts a beat in my heart
Texas
Every boy and girl should know the feeling of
Texas
All around the world
They know our name
They call us dreamers, tailgaters(?), cowboys, stargazers
I don't care what they call me
