When Texans take off their hats
And put a big ol' plate of barbecue before you,
You know you're gonna like it like that
Until you cross that Red River valley.
When Texans put on their hats
And do the two-step and the Cotton-eyed Joe for you,
You know you're gonna like it like that
Until you cross that Red River valley.
When Texas Hill Country girls
Flash a smile and pop a Lone Star open for you,
You know you're gonna like it like that
Until you cross that Red River valley.
When Texas families meet
For Sunday dinner and they lay that spread before you,
You know you're gonna like it like that
Until you cross that Red River valley.
When Texas antelope stand
Against the skyline of a Panhandle morning,
You know you're gonna like it like that
Until you cross that Oklahoma state line.
When Texas roads take a turn
And lay amazing sights that God has made before you,
You know you're gonna like it like that
Until you cross that Red River valley.
When Texas troubadors meet
And play the music that this big ol' state is known for,
You know you're gonna like it like that
Until you cross that Red River valley.
