C                                 F            
She was born in College Station; her daddy had a 
            C
farmer?s PHD
C                                   G
Her first steps were taken with the Corps on Kyle Field
C                              F                    C
When she graduated, she bought a maroon pick-up truck
C                                 G              
They celebrated down at the Dixie Chicken when she 
                          C
opened her vet practice up
C                       F                            
Now he was born Austin, his daddy had a store down on
      C
 the drag
C                                  G
Ever since the school had opened, relatives were 
Longhorn grads
C                            F                      C
His room was painted orange, he was getting his degree
C                                  G                C
In the band playing French horn, first row, second seat

Am         G
Gig ?em Aggies, Hook ?em Horns
F                  G          C
One side?s maroon, the other, burnt orange

C                        F                      C
He saw her at a concert, way before Robert Earl Keen
C                               G
She was wearin? an Aggie shirt, to him it didn?t mean a
 thing
C                                      F          
He pushed his way on through the crowd like any ol? 
                    C
hungry bull would do
C                                    G               
When he was close enough he shouted, "Hey, mind if I 
        C
sit by you?"
C                                    F               
She turned around and stared at him, couldn?t believe
       C
 her eyes
C                             G
He had a burnt orange jacket, Longhorns from side to 
side
C                                        F           
Well she looked again and took a chance, said "That?s
          C
 OK with me"
C                               G                    C
Something in that second chance went beyond the rivalry

C                         F
When your eyes are closed and you?re in the dark,
C               G          C
The colors are all the same
C                       F                 C
Just two beating hearts not playing any games
Am          G
You can gig ?em, you can hook ?em
F            G
One thing?ll never change
C                         F
When your eyes are closed and you?re in the dark,
C              G         C
The colors are all the same

C                                 F               
When she went to meet his Mother, she was wearing a 
          C
cowboy hat
C                                      G
When they left they hugged each other, Mom said, 
"You?re always welcome back"
C                                F                   
When she took him home to Daddy, she worried about 
               C
the ring in his ear
C                               G                
He was makin? pretty good money but his tattoo was 
            C
pretty clear
C                                 F              
Well they decided to get married, bridesmaids wore 
      C
maroon
C                                      G
The ring bearer carried a burnt orange package to the 
groom
C                              F                     
Well the ring that he gave her was diamond mounted on
        C
 two thumbs
C                             G                      
Sitting on a Longhorn cradle, cause when it?s said 
   C
and done

C                         F
When your eyes are closed and you?re in the dark,
C               G          C
The colors are all the same
C                       F                 C
Just two beating hearts not playing any games
Am          G
You can gig ?em, you can hook ?em
F            G
One thing?ll never change
C                         F
When your eyes are closed and you?re in the dark,
C              G         C
The colors are all the same

C                                      F          
Now all they had to do was figure out where they?re 
         C
gonna live
C                                        G
Well they flipped a coin and that is how she got her 
way over his
C                                     F              
Well they vacationed up in Kerrville, they went down 
          C
to the coast
C                                 G                  
Their first born they named Earl, you should have 
           C
heard them boast
C                           F                        C
Every year at Thanksgiving, Earl could take either side
C                                   G
All the birthday gifts he was given were hints they 
couldn?t hide
C                                F                
There were 12th man T-shirts and Longhorns of every 
    C
size
C                         G                    
His first two words were, "Gig ?em Bevo", always 
               C
playing both sides

Am         G
Gig ?em Aggies, Hook ?em Horns
F                  G          C
One side?s maroon, the other, burnt orange

C                                   F                
When it came time to go to college, Earl didn?t know 
        C
what to do
C                             G
His Dad wanted him in Austin, his Mom in maroon
C                              F                     
Well, the moral of this story, is if you listen to 
     C
this song
C                                         G          
Where do y?all think he went to college?, well , you 
                 C
just might be wrong
C                                   F                
Well he tried both universities and you don?t have to
         C
 wonder how
C
He says with all sincerity...
G                              C
"I?m a Southwest Texas Bobcat now!"

C                         F
When your eyes are closed and you?re in the dark,
C               G          C
The colors are all the same
C                       F                 C
Just two beating hearts not playing any games
Am          G
