The white sand of the beach at South Padre Island offers a restful retreat from the regular routine.
I’m Going Back to Texas
I’m going back to Texas,
‘cause that’s where I want to be.
If Texas was a woman, I think
Her big breasts are calling me.
I‘ve got friends down there,
And places I have yet to see.
I’m here in the Midwest state,
And I really don’t know why.
Weather is really crazy here,
and corn is knee-high in July.
By December, snow’s on the ground,
And it’s only 3 degrees Fahrenheit.
I have a good job here, I guess,
But it seems like I just get by.
I think I’d rather be in Texas,
Where mostly it’s warm and dry.
I’m going back to Texas,
‘cause that’s where I want to be.
If Texas was a woman, I think
Her big breasts are calling me.
I‘ve got friends down there,
And places I have yet to see.
People in Texas carved out a state, and
they’re proud of their unique history.
It’s so big and different in landscape,
They say it’s a whole another country.
It’s the people who make it what it is,
With a oneness in a great diversity.
Business is as varied as its people,
With a wide range of major industries.
The blending of the different cultures
Creates a heritage for the world to see.
I’m going back to Texas,
‘cause that’s where I want to be.
If Texas was a woman, I think
Her big breasts are calling me.
I‘ve got friends down there,
And places I have yet to see.
I know I’d really like to leave here,
But I don’t really know when.
I’ve lived on the West Coast, the
East Coast, and back here again.
But after staying a Texas a spell,
It’s the best place I’ve ever been.
Meantime, I try find a conference
For a week in San Antonio to attend.
That would give me the opportunity
To visit some of my old friends.
I’m going back to Texas,
‘cause that’s where I want to be.
If Texas was a woman, I think
Her big breasts are calling me.
I‘ve got friends down there,
And places I have yet to see.
