Down in Texas Songtext
von Jerry Jeff Walker

Yeah, down in Texas we got our own style
We say we′re fixin' to in country miles
Ten gallon hats and stovepipe cowboy boots
We say "howdy y′all," we go "howdy do"
We're laid back crazy 'cause it′s understood
When you live down in Texas

Life is good
Life is good
Yeah, life is good

Yeah, down in Texas we know wrong from right
Work hard all day, and we party all night
We say "yes, sir" and "thank you, ma′am"
If you don't like that, we don′t give a damn
We do things the way we think we should
'Cause we live down in Texas

Where life is good
This life is good
Yeah, life is good


And every man in the whole wide world
He falls in love with pretty Texas girls
I′ve found out one thing is true
Women 'round the world love what cowboys do

Hey, down in Texas we say don′t complain
Just thank the Lord for the pouring rain
Cloudy skies and bright old sunny days
We say we like it here either way
We wouldn't change things even if we could
'Cause every day in Texas

Life is good
This life is good
And life is good

Yeah, life is good
Yeah, life, life, life is good
Yeah, life is good
Yeah, life is good
Yeah, life is good
I said life is good, baby
