Miles of Texas

By:Diane Johnston, Tommy Camfield · Source Recording: IIIrd Tyme Out (1991)Song details

100%

I was born in Louisiana down on the old bayou
Raised on shrimp and catfish and Mammy's good gumbo
Got that ramblin' fever said goodbye to maw and paw
Crossed that old Red River 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 there 'til I die

I rode up into Cow Town the cradle of the West
Just ask any cowboy he'll tell you it's the best
I met a Texas beauty got friendly with her paw
I looked into her deep blue eyes and this is what I saw

I started tamin' broncos made every rodeo
'Til I met a rough one his name was Devil Joe
I grabbed hold of his bridle to ride that old outlaw
Well he threw me from the saddle boys and this is what I saw
