Lyric:
Let me tell you ‘bout a place that’s stood the test of time
Once it was a country, but now a State of Mind
Texas is the place I know, it’s special and it’s real
let me share some things it’s got you oughtta see and feel
Do-si-do with fiddle and bow, Texas two-step and Cotton-Eyed Joe,
heel and toe, do-si-do, Texas two-step and Cotton-Eyed Joe,
We belt it out with Jennings, echo through the hills,
rave with Buddy Holly, “ah-hah” with the great Bob Wills.
We croon with Kenny Rogers, George Strait and young Clint Black.
We dance the Texas two-step to Galveston and back
Do-si-do with fiddle and bow, Texas two-step and Cotton-Eyed Joe,
heel and toe, do-si-do, Texas two-step and Cotton-Eyed Joe,
Texas has its mountains and plains, valleys and bayous.
We had cottonfields once where legendary pickers grew,
Like Lightnin’ Hopkins, T-Bone, Blind Lemon, Stevie Ray played the blues
Buddy Holly, and Willie Nelson sang their stories too
Do-si-do with fiddle and bow, Texas two-step and Cotton-Eyed Joe,
heel and toe, do-si-do, Texas two-step and Cotton-Eyed Joe,
Us Texans like to hunt and shoot, and what we shoot, we eat.
When you smell the bar-b-cue, bring a dish ‘n grab a seat.
Tex-Mex, tacos, fajitas, enchiladas and red wine!
Avocado guacamole suits a Texan just fine!
Do-si-do with fiddle and bow, Texas two-step and Cotton-Eyed Joe,
heel and toe, do-si-do, Texas two-step and Cotton-Eyed Joe,
Do-si-do with fiddle and bow, Texas two-step and Cotton-Eyed Joe,
heel and toe, do-si-do, Texas two-step and Cotton-Eyed Joe,
We have fought to live our way, and we can fight again.
When the need presents itself, we only fight to win.
We have fought to live our way, we can live no other.
If you feel like coming this way, don’t mess with Texas, brother!
Do-si-do with fiddle and bow, Texas two-step and Cotton-Eyed Joe,
heel and toe, do-si-do, Texas two-step and Cotton-Eyed Joe,
Texas has its music, Texas has its food
Texas has its history to put you in the mood
The very best way to visit is to travel far and wide
one end to the other right through the countryside
Do-si-do with fiddle and bow, Texas two-step and Cotton-Eyed Joe,
heel and toe, do-si-do, Texas two-step and Cotton-Eyed Joe,
Do-si-do with fiddle and bow, Texas two-step and Cotton-Eyed Joe,
heel and toe, do-si-do, Texas two-step and Cotton-Eyed Joe
