Lyrics
Texas Heaven
(Effron White, David Gene McKnight)
Texas Heaven
That's where they've gone
Cause no other heaven could hold them long
They get restless,
Just strummin' them harps
They give 'em wide open spaces
And steel guitars
CHORUS (1)
No manna from heaven
Just fresh made tortillas
Quevos rancheros and straight tequila
Where the playboys swing
And the band is tight
And they hoot and hollar and shoot out the lights
Eternally Texas
Texas heaven
Texas Heaven
That's where they go
Even the outlaws
Hidin' out down in old Mexico
And yes, its true
Maybe an Okie or two
Will wade that Red River
To be with me and you
CHORUS (2)
Last chance paradise
Sign up the road
Siesta grande for the hell raising soul
There's a watering hole
Yeah, that's what I hear
Where God drops in for an ice cold beer
Eternally Texas
Texas Heaven
Instrumental break
CHORUS
Eternally Texas
Texas Heaven (3X)
Out
