Slaid Cleaves - Texas love song

^C For you, I’d give up ^Gall my time ^CSearching for the ^Fperfect rhyme ^CAnd this is one that certainly ^Gperplexes ^G7 For ^Cyou, I would spend ^Gall my days ^CThinking up all the ^Fcrazy ways I ^Clove you even more than^G I love Texas ^C

You got ^CBellaire class and ^GDallas style ^CAustin soul and a ^FLuckenbach smile For ^Cyou I’d trade my truck in for a ^GLexus ^G7 You ^Csmell as sweet as the ^Gpiney woods I’d ^Cmarry you if I ^Fthought I could I ^Clove you even more than^G I love Texas ^{C C7}

You’re the ^Fbarb on my wire The ^Cspark in my campfire There’s no brighter star in all the ^Gmultiplexes ^G7 I ^Clove this state, you ^Gknow I do But the ^Cbest thing in this ^Fstate is you I ^Clove you even more than^G I love Texas ^C

Your ^Cwit’s as sharp as a ^Gprickly pear The ^Csun shines in your ^Fgolden hair Your ^Csmile hits me right in the solar ^Gplexus ^{G7 C}Skin as soft as early ^Gmorning rain ^CTemper like a gulf coast ^Fhurricane I ^Clove you even more than^G I love Texas ^C

From the ^CMucky Duck to the ^GBroken Spoke You ^Cknow this state like an ^Fold cowpoke You ^Cknow where all the tastiest Tex-^GMex is ^G7 You got ^CMattson on the ^Gradio Playing ^CRobert Earl and ^FBilly Joe I ^Clove you even more than^G I love Texas ^{C C7}

You’re the ^Fbarb on my wire The ^Cspark in my campfire Let’s head out west where nobody can ^Gtext us ^G7 I ^Cpromise you I’ll ^Gnever cheat Or you can ^Cthrow me out in the ^Fold mesquite I ^Clove you even more than^G I love Texas ^C

And ^Cif you make me ^Gleave this state I’ll ^Ccurse but I won’t ^Fhesitate ‘Cause I ^Clove you even ^Gmore than I love ^CTexas
