"She's Like Texas"

On the last night of my winter break in Dallas, I was driving down beautiful country roads with my wonderful friend Ben when this song came on. It was love at first hearing.


It's no surprise at all that this girl absolutely LOVES her home state of Texas, so it's kinda a shocker that I've never heard the song "She's Like Texas" by the Josh Abbott Band. I hope that if you were to hear this song, you would automatically think of me:

"She's as free as the Blue Bonnets in the summer
She's as hot as the Padre Island sun
Most of the times she's as warm and friendly
Like the hills that surround Austin

She's as bright as the Dallas sky
She always holds her head up high
She loves the company of her family
She has faith in God's greater plan
She trusts that I'm a good man
And that why I'll always believe
She's like Texas and she likes me

Her eyes are green like the trees in Nacogdoches
Her teeth are white as the cotton in the fall
And when she laughs you'll always take notice
'Cause her heart's charm will shine right through it all

Shes as bright as the Dallas Sky
She always holds head high
She love the company of her family
She has faith in God's greater plan
She trusts that I'm a good man
And that why I'll always believe
She's like Texas and she likes me

Her moods can change like the weather out in Lubbock
But if you show her love, man, she'll return it.

She's as bright as the Dallas Sky
She always holds her head up high
She loves the company of her family
She has faith in God's greater plan
She trusts that I'm a good man
And that why I'll always believe
She's like Texas and she likes me."

Sometimes being away from the thing you love only makes you love it more. I cannot wait till I get to stay permanently in my Texas - maybe then I will finally find my own cowboy! Haha, God Bless Texas!
