From the recording Golden Spotted Midnight Sky

Lyrics

With those wide open spaces 
And old friendly faces
 And Southern girls, with lemonade 
Whew, goodness gracious  
They don’t make 'em like that 
Anywhere but down South

That’s why, I’m never leaving Texas 
No I aint’ ever leaving Texas
 No I aint’ ever leaving Texas 
Don’t even ask

We’ve got black two lane roads 
And pine trees in droves 
And more trucks that tow, than little cars on the road
 And drivers that like to go, go, go 
Down in the deep deep South

That’s why, I’m never leaving Texas
 No I aint’ ever leaving Texas 
No I aint’ ever leaving Texas 
Don’t even ask

You can take it, or leave it 
We don’t mind 
Cuz you get just what you see here
 In Lone Star style

We’ve got glorious summers
 And winters like spring 
And when it rains it pours down 
Blue lighting paint
 And white hot stars and big red hearts

That’s why, I’m never leaving Texas 
No I aint’ ever leaving Texas
 No I aint’ ever leaving Texas 
Don’t even ask

You can take it, or leave it 
We don’t mind 
Cuz you get just what you see here 
In Lone Star style

With those wide open spaces 
And old friendly faces 
And Southern girls, with lemonade 
Whew, goodness gracious  
They don’t make 'em like that 
Anywhere but down South

That’s why, I’m never leaving Texas 
No I aint’ ever leaving Texas 
No I aint’ ever leaving Texas 
Don’t even ask
