homesick

Texas

by George Straight

There wouldn’t be no Alamo

No Cowboys in the Super Bowl

No Lonesome Dove, no yellow rose

If it wasn’t for Texas

I wouldn’t be a Willie fan

Nobody’d swim the Rio Grande

I wouldn’t be an American

If it wasn’t for Texas

Fort Worth would never cross my mind

There’d be no Austin city limit sign

No lone star of any kind

If it wasn’t for Texas

I’d never gone to Tennessee

To sing my songs and chase my dreams

Only heaven knows just where I’d be

If it wasn’t for Texas

It made me the man I am

Thank God for my old stompin’ ground

I wouldn’t be standin’ right here right now

If it wasn’t for Texas

If it wasn’t for Texas

If it wasn’t for Texas

My heart's a little homesick right now.....homesick for Texas.....this song about sums up how I feel. I miss my family, my Texas friends, Aggie Baseball, Aggies, bluebonnets, hot weather, flat land and a big sky, Texas Bar-B-Q, Dublin Dr. Pepper, BLUE BELL, Texas thunderstorms, pastures full of cattle, tractors plowing the fields, being within driving distance of so many memories and fantastic cities.....no doubt I am blessed and in His will, my heart's just weary and missing the familiar and the comfortable....what's normal to me :)
