Miles And Mile Of Texas lyrics

I was born in Lousiana down on the ol bouyo

Rasied on shrimps and catfish mame's good gumbo

I got the ramblin' fever said goodbye to ma and pa

Crossed that ol 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 till I die

 

I rode up in to Austin the craddle of the west

Just ask any cowboy he'll tell you it's the best

I met a texas bueaty I got friendly with her pa

I looked in to her big blue eyes 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 till I die

 

I started tamin' bronko's I made every rodeo

Until I met a tuff one you know his name was devil joe

I grabb'd hold of his bridle just to ride this ol' 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 till I die

 

Miles of Texas

Uaaah now
