*** “Lone Star,” is a well-known nickname and symbol of Texas, referring to the star on the state flag.*** Grandpa taught me how to shoot when I was only five Grandma showed me how to spread jam while the biscuits were still warm First birthday gift was cowboy boots, second one a banjo They knew right then this little girl would never walk the quiet road Raised in the saddle, under Texas skies Never needed permission to raise my voice high I got boots made for dust A banjo that don't rust And Lone Star blood that don't back down! Don't need no white knight I can save my own night With these boots, this banjo, and my Lone Star blood! Drive a pickup with chipped paint, but I drive it proud My laugh ain't quiet, my views ain't shy, and I don't apologize Instead of waiting for some hero to come riding in I saddle up my own horse and solve my problems with the wind Born independent, under Texas stars Never asked permission to go real far A banjo that don't rust And Lone Star blood that don't back down! Don't need no white knight I can save my own night With these boots, this banjo, and my Lone Star blood! When I play my banjo, they hear me two miles away My voice ain't sugar-sweet, it's a storm across the plain I sing because it's my weapon, I dance 'cause it's my fight This Texas girl was born to shine her own kind of light Want love? Well, come correct, no cheap tricks or games This heart beats wild but it beats true through sunshine and through rain My daddy always told me, "Girl, you stand your ground" And mama said, "Be yourself, that's how legends are found" I got boots made for dust A banjo that don't rust And Lone Star blood that don't back down! Don't need no white knight I can save my own night With these boots, this banjo, and my Lone Star blood! Call and Response Section Boots! (Stomp) Banjos! (Strum) Blood that's Lone Star strong! Boots! (Stomp) Banjos! (Strum) That's what keeps me goin' on! Yeah, I was raised in Texas dust And that's something you can trust Lone Star blood runs through these veins And that's something that won't change No, that's something that won't change!
