I'm sitting with a map laid out on my lap
Now there's not too many places that I ain't been
But the one place I love best is spread all over the west
And I'm trying to figure how to get back home again
I wish I was sitting right under the X in Texas
Right in the heart of where my heart must be
But where I roam I never feel at home except in Texas
Under the X in Texas is the only place for me
verse 2
Now I don't know what I miss the most
The hills out west or the southern coast
Or being where a man can see for miles and miles
Those east Texas rivers with tall pine trees
Or the great state plains with prairie breeze
But baby I'm lonesome to see a Texas smile
I wish I was sitting right under the X in Texas
Right in the heart of where my heart must be
But where I roam I never feel at home except in Texas
Under the X in Texas is the only place for me
Outro
Now I ain?t got nothing against the rest
But why settle for less when you know what?s best
Under the X in Texas is the only place for me
