Down in Texas the stars shine cold; The wind's a knife It's hot as well Down in Texas there is glory and gold In the whisper of a gusher from a wishing well Down in Texas the highways roll West of Austin s It moves real fast Down in Texas it all starts to blend into Armadillos, road k** and cheap gas Down in Texas the roadhouses sprawl Where pickups come crawl in On a Saturday night Down in Texas in the beer and the brawls Nightfall's glaring back at neon lights While guitar slingers work it there for real To the whine of the fiddle and the pedal steel They go down in Texas They say "Wah-hoo!" Down in Texas legends are grown Greater than the Alamo and other deadly matters Down in Texas it all starts to blend In bluesmen, equestrians and Stratocasters While guitar slingers work it there for real To the whine of the fiddle and the pedal steel They go down in Texas They say "Wah-hoo!" Got'cher cowboys, got yer loud noise Got yer flannel shirt millionaires Got yer howdy pard, got yer lone star Got the women with the great big hair Down in Texas They say "Wah-hoo!" Down in Texas ghosts move at will By all night truck stops and starlit rails Down in Texas the living and the still Hear Coyote call as he follows the trails Of guitar slingers that move too slow Baby, don't you want to go Let's go down to Texas We'll say "Wah-hoo!" [Chorus]
