I guess that she’s my mother- My lady, and my wife. I know that I sure love her- And I have for all my life. I’m speaking now of Texas- The land from which I sprung She must have had a hand in it The day the stars were hung. I love her western deserts Her mountains sere and bare… The mesquite trees of South Texas, The clean, Panhandle air. The Piney Woods are pretty And some, I’m sure they please- I find I have a hard time, Telling forest from the trees. The Gulf Coast has its good points If a person likes to fish. I prefer to hunt my whitetails If I could have my wish. But every day I bow my head And thank the Lord above- That I was born in Texas, The State I dearly love. |

Have lived in Texas more than half my life. May not be born here, but I'm definitely "home grown" and swear Texas ceded where I was born just long enough for me to say "I'm a Texan, 'nuff said! " j. |

Gunslinger - If I was a southern boy and was taken up North, they say after a while I'd be talkin' with an accent. Makes me proud to be a northern boy who was brought down South where they say after a while I began talkin' normal. LOL. Texas......where there's enough open space to spend a lifetime and you can talk about it all day. Very nice work Gunslinger. Namyh |
