Subject: "I Like Texas" by Pat Green

Song:I Like Texas
By:Pat Green
Album:Dancehall Dreamer
                           I Like Texas

	A			D
Well from Dalhart to Del Rio and out El Paso way

	 A
I’ll be doin fine on Houston time

		E
When the sun sets on the Copano Bay

	      A
Well from way up where the Red River flows

	D
And on down to the Rio Grande

	A
I was born a native Texican

	     E			A
And I’m proud to say that I am


CHORUS:

		D   E	       A
Yeah, I like Texas,  Ain’t it fine here

	 F#m			   D
Like to pick my guitar down in Lukenbach

	E
And drink that Shiner Bock beer

		D  E   			A
Yeah I like Texas man there ain’t no doubt

	D		   E			A
Just listen to me cause I know what I’m talkin about



A
Well there’s old dancehalls and the little cafe’s

	D
Where you can get a taste of the Lone Star state

A					      	  E
Strap on your boots and have yourself a laugh or two

	   A
Well there’s no line dancin, just straight romancin

         D
Hill country love is what I fancy

	A				  E		    A
Where streams run clear and Lord the skies they are so blue


CHORUS

	A			D
It’s a two day old burrito on a lukewarm beer to go

	A
On the Sunday side of a roadtrip weekend

E
Lordy I was feelin so low

	A
Then somebody flipped on the jukebox

	D
And I heard old Bob Wills say

		A	     D
Won’t you stay all night, stay a little longer

        E
So I held on another day


CHORUS
