Johnny Cash/Bob Wills - Miles And Miles Of Texas Songtexte

I was born in Louisiana down on the old bayou
Raised on shrimp and catfish and Mammy's good gumbo
I got the ramblin' fever said goodbye to maw and paw
Crossed that old Red River and this is what I saw

I saw miles and miles of Texas all the stars up in the sky
I saw miles and miles of Texas gonna live here 'til I die

I rode up in to Austin the cradle of the West
Just ask any cowboy he'll tell you that its the best
And I met a Texas beauty I got friendly with her Paw
I looked into her big blue eyes and this is what I saw

I saw miles and miles of Texas all the stars up in the sky
I saw miles and miles of Texas gonna live here 'til I die

I started tamin' broncos made every rodeo
Until I met a tough one you know his name was Devil Joe
And I grabbed hold of his bridle just to ride this old outlaw
He threw me from the saddle and this is what I saw

I saw miles and miles of Texas all the stars up in the sky
I saw miles and miles of Texas gonna live here 'til I die
