TEXAS IS AS FAR AS I CAN SEE 121311 - COWTOWN

James Michael Taylor

This is my anti-pro Texas song song.

TEXAS IS AS FAR AS I CAN SEE

Well, some folks say that Texas is boots and belts and hats
And Lone Star chili’s just carbohydrates, proteins and fats
I’ll try to curb a snicker but I’m apt to disagree
’cus, Texas is as far as I can see

Where the wind would blow on the buffalo when the prairie grass was high
It was here, and not that long ago. It almost makes me cry
The pictures, like a movie, live in my memory
And Texas is as far as I can see

Follow the plow that leads to now thru loam and chalk and clay
The arrow head and the feather bed are strewn along the way
Take all the books I ever read and call it history
Because, Texas is as far as I can see

They tell of far-off places where boots are back in style
And cowboy bars and shirts with stars are known to raise a smile
I’ll never know for sure if it’s reality
Because, Texas is as far as I can see…
