C5 
Well it's not just a state, it's a whole state of mind 
        F5                                      C5  
You can feel it as soon as you cross the state line 
     F5                                    C5 
It's deep in our hearts, our soul and our jeans 
   C5                      G5           C5 
If you're from Texas, you know what I mean 
 
Chorus 1: 
             F5 
Cause it's a Texas thing 
              C5 
Longnecks and western swing 
                        G5 
It's the River Walk and Barton Springs 
                C5  
And a cold Lone Star 
                        F5   
It's the way we like to sing 
                        C5 
In a dance hall down in Gruene 
               G5   
Eatin' BBQ and pinto beans 
                 C5 
With a cold Lone Star 
 
Instrumental 
 
Chorus 2: 
Cause it's a texas thing 
Longnecks and western swing 
It's the River Walk and Leon Springs 
And cold Lone Star 
It's the way that we like to sing 
At Luckenbach and down in Gruene 
Enchiladas and refried beans 
With a cold lone star 
 
Instrumental 
 
Chorus 3: 
Cause it's a Texas thing 
Longnecks and western swing 
Groovin on the local music scene 
And a cold Lone Star 
It's the weather we like to sing 
In a dance hall down 
Havin' BBQ and pinto beans 
With a cold Lone Star 
 
 
Everybody doin' the Texas thing 
With a cold Lone Star
