Waylon Jennings

People Up in Texas

To the people up in Texas

It's the nearest thing to heaven here on earth

The lifestyle up in Texas

Is just go on out and live for all it's worth.

Where the men are all men

And the ladies there are born with ways to please

And the people up in Texas

Think that the rest of all the world is over seas.

You don't need no one to tell you

When you cross that Texas line

The air starts smellin' sweeter

And the water tastes like wine.

The sun is always shining

So it's seldom ever cold

People just grow up there

Never old.

You don't need no one to tell you

When you cross that Texas line

The air starts smellin' sweeter

And the water tastes like wine.

The sun is always shining

So it's seldom ever cold

People just grow up there

Never old.

The people up in Texas

It's the nearest thing to heaven here on earth

The lifestyle up in Texas

Is just go on out and live for all it's worth.

Where the men are all men

And the ladies there are born with ways to please

And the people up in Texas

Think that the rest of all the world is over seas.

Yeah, the people up in Texas

Think that the rest of all the world is over seas...
