[Verse 1] Buddy says I’m crazy Maps packed up in my front seat Quit my job on a Tuesday Chasing something I ain’t seen He said “Man What’s in Austin That you can’t find right here?” I just smiled Tipped my brim Said “Let me make this clear” [Chorus] I gotta go to Texas Where God sent the pretty ones Where the red dirt dust Kicks up around those boots that run Where every barroom doorway Looks like an answered prayer Yeah I gotta go to Texas ‘Cause He put all the pretty ones there (oh yeah) He put all the pretty ones there [Verse 2] Heard ‘bout girls in Fort Worth Stealing hearts on Friday nights Blue jean skirts in Lubbock Stepping out under fairground lights San Antone sweet talk Dallas smiles that knock you flat If Heaven’s got a waiting room I bet it looks like that [Chorus] I gotta go to Texas Where God sent the pretty ones Where the red dirt dust Kicks up around those boots that run Where every barroom doorway Looks like an answered prayer Yeah I gotta go to Texas ‘Cause He put all the pretty ones there He put all the pretty ones there [Bridge] Maybe He was showing off When He drew that lone star sky Gave those girls that slow drawl Set this restless heart on fire So I’m pointing this old pickup Right where that big sun sets If I don’t find my angel I’ll still die with no regrets (hey!) [Chorus] I gotta go to Texas Where God sent the pretty ones Where the red dirt dust Kicks up around those boots that run Where every barroom doorway Looks like an answered prayer Yeah I gotta go to Texas ‘Cause He put all the pretty ones there He put all the pretty ones there
