{Intro}
D G Em A
D G
1.One lone star waving in the wind
Em A
A longhorn standing proud behind a rusty barbed wire fence
D G
Cowboy hats and hearts that necer bend
Em A
I was born and raised a Texan and will be 'til the end
G A D
C.As I travel down that blue bonnet highway
Bm A D
I'm thankful I was born a lucky man
D G
And I know that I will live and die my own way
Em A D
Somewhere between the Red and Rio Grande
2.Two old boots, dusty, worn, and stained
By the oilfields and the ranches and the blood that fell like rain
Heroes hearts that fought to change our name
From Tejas to Texas where the Lone Star proudly waves
C.
