G                                                           C
To the people up in Texas it's the nearest thing to heaven here on earth
    D                                                             G
The lifestyle up in Texas is just go on out and live for all it's worth
G                                                                    C
Where the men are all men and the ladies there are born with ways to please
        G                            D                            G
And the people up in Texas think the rest of all the world is overseas

C                                          G
You don't need no one to tell you when you cross that Texas line
     C                                   G
The air starts smellin' sweeter and the water tastes like wine
    C                                              G                  D            G
The sun is always shining so it's seldom ever cold people just grow up there never old

[Chorus]
       G                                                           C
To the people up in Texas it's the nearest thing to heaven here on earth
    D                                                             G
The lifestyle up in Texas is just go on out and live for all it's worth
G                                                                    C
Where the men are all men and the ladies there are born with ways to please
        G                            D                            G
And the people up in Texas think the rest of all the world is overseas
        G                            D                            G
Yeah the people up in Texas think the rest of all the world is overseas
