When the ^Cday breaks on Cedar Creek Lake Or my life rolls into ^GRhome When the ^Gsun goes down on Austin town That's when I'll know I'm ^Chome What a ^Ctime we'll have on Greenville Ave With the big shots in Big ^FD I'm ^Flivin' in a state of ^CTexas and ^GTexas lives in ^Cme

For the ^Cgirls I've known in San Antone and out El Paso ^Gway My ^Glove grows like a yellow rose and will not fade a^Cway When you ^Chold tight on a summer night, I'm gone yeah I am ^Ffree I'm ^Flivin' in a state of ^CTexas and ^GTexas lives in ^Cme I'm ^Flivin' in a state of ^CTexas and ^GTexas lives in ^Cme
