G C G
I was born in Louisiana down on the old bayou
C G A7 D7
Raised on shrimp and catfish and Mammy's good gumbo
G C G
I got the ramblin' fever said goodbye to maw and paw
C G E7 A7 D7 G
Crossed that old Red River and this is what I saw
D7
I saw miles and miles of Texas all the stars up in the sky
G D7 G
I saw miles and miles of Texas gonna live here 'til I die
C G
I rode up in to Austin the cradle of the West
C G A7 D7
Just ask any cowboy he'll tell you that its the best
G C G
And I met a Texas beauty I got friendly with her Paw
C G E7 A7 D7 G
I looked into her big blue eyes and this is what I saw
D7
I saw miles and miles of Texas all the stars up in the sky
G D7 G
I saw miles and miles of Texas gonna live here 'til I die
C G
I started tamin' broncos made every rodeo
C G A7 D7
Until I met a tough one you know his name was Devil Joe
G C G
And I grabbed hold of his bridle just to ride this old outlaw
C G E7 A7 D7 G
He threw me from the saddle and this is what I saw
D7
I saw miles and miles of Texas all the stars up in the sky
G D7 G
I saw miles and miles of Texas gonna live here 'til I die
