Jerry Jeff Walker - Keep Texas Beautiful lyrics



Jerry Jeff Walker

Texas in October, is about as pretty as it gets

But Texas in the springtime, is even prettier yet

You miss it so much when you're gone

It's hard for you to say

Texas gets more beautiful, with every passing day

Got a letter from my family, said they'd had a lot of rain

It washed away the cotton crops, but all and all they can't complain

'Cause the bluebonnets are about to bloom again,

And Ginger finally had her colt

In Texas they don't worry much, about things they can't control

Chorus:

Keep Texas beautiful, keep Texas free

Keep her wild and natural, just the way she ought to be

This world is full of man-made wonders, Texas didn't come that way

No, Texas came out beautiful, why not keep her that way?

I've been out here working hard, trying to make ends meet

But a float trip down the Rio Grande would sure do a lot for me

A good night's sleep under a lot of stars

With a sunrise crisp and clean

And the smell of coffee boiling, by a big old pot of beans

Chorus

So in my dreams I'm driving home, I can see my daddy's face

He's standing by the live oak tree, in our yard on Canyon Lake

And I'm driving under miles and miles of clear blue Texas skies

Some strangers in a pick-up truck, turn and wave as I drive by

Chorus

Yeah, Texas came out beautiful, why not keep her that way?
