God had a piece of heaven left over
And he held it in the palm of his hand
Put a lonestar high above it
Then set it down beside the rio grande
He made the horns on the steers a little longer
Put thorns on the black chaparral
Set the tumbleweeds to grow and the wind to make ‘em roll
And chase the diamond backs along the trail
And texas was a place he created
The nearest place to heaven on this eart
Put a cowboy in a show and called it a rodeo
And put it in the middle of ft. Worth
Then god said there’s just one thing missing
But soon it will come along
So he willed a man named bob to write the songs
