Act Like a Texan

With great reverence to Lyle Lovett, who's wit charms the mythical horned rodent's long ears and mythical soul. Beggin' forgiveness instead of permission.

A big Texazistan shout out for Governor Abbott.

You say that you're from Texas
Texans wish we could tell
You think you pull your boots on right
And wear your hat so well

So pardon all our laughter
'Cause we sure don't understand
Even Moses (Austin) got excited
When he saw this promised land

That's right act like you're a Texan
That's right act like you're a Texan
That's right act like you're a Texan
But Texas has you anyway

That's right act like you're a Texan
That's right act like you're a Texan
That's right act like you're a Texan
But Texas has you anyway

See I was born and raised in Texas
And it means so much to me
Though my Dad came from up in Happy (Texas)
We grew up in the Bayou City (Houston)

And we've been driving down #6 Highway
So tell me Abbott why you're so great
How come you're always piddlin' round
About this Lone Star State
TEX sez that's right act like you're a Texan


That's right act like you're a Texan
That's right act like you're a Texan
But Texas has you anyway

That's right act like you're a Texan
That's right act like you're a Texan
That's right act like you're a Texan
But Texas has you anyway

Campaign Road you talked so lovely
And then rolled chair on bye side
And you grew smaller in side mirror
Soon you'll watch Tex wave' passin' by

Those boys from San An'tone
They sure enough Prog Sting
Another Alamo down in Texas
Wish you'd show them how TEX swings

Now CoVid's on the radio
And TEX's sittin' still on gear idle
And Uncle Walt's swank hotel sits empty
Rising tax on Texas homes

That's right act like you're a Texan
That's right act like you're a Texan
That's right act like you're a Texan
Hope Texans trust you anyway

That's right act like you're a Texan
That's right act like you're a Texan
That's right act like you're a Texan
Cuz Texas has you anyway

We're ok in Brazos County
Out in Lampassas they're fair
But those old folks in those care homes
They can't be with family in final years?

Why now at a PROTEST down in Texas
That's OUR Finest Hour to lead
TEX women they all look beautiful
And TEX men will buy their beer for free
And they'll say that's right act like you're a Texan

That's right act like you're a Texan
That's right act like you're a Texan
Cuz Texas has you anyway

That's right act like you're a Texan
That's right act like you're a Texan
That's right act like you're a Texan
Cuz Texas has you anyway

So won't you let us help YOU! mister
And pull your hat down the way men do
And cinch your belt up just a little shorter
Or next time somebody'll laugh at you
They'll just tell you, you're not from Texas!

That's right act like you're a Texan
That's right act like you're a Texan
But Texas has you anyway

That's right act like you're a Texan
That's right act like you're a Texan
That's right act like you're a Texan
But Texas has you anyway
