We've all read of the beautiful stories
Of the countries far over the sea
From whence came our ancestors
To establish this land of the free
There are some folks who still like to travel
To see what they have over there
But when they go look
It's not like the book
And they see there is none to compare
To beautiful, beautiful Texas
Where the beautiful bluebonnets grow
We're proud of our forefathers
Who fought at the Alamo
You can live on the plains or the mountains
Or down where the sea breezes blow
But you're still in beautiful Texas
The most beautiful place that I know
You can travel on beautiful highways
By cities, by village, by farms
Or fly above on the skyways
To the beauty below you will charm
White cotton green pastures blue rivers
Golden wheat fields and fruit trees that bear
You may search till doomsday
And then you will say
That Texas has beauty to spare
Oh, beautiful, beautiful Texas
Where the beautiful bluebonnets grow
We're proud of our forefathers
Who fought at the Alamo
You can live on the plains or the mountains
Or down where the sea breezes blow
But you're still in beautiful Texas
The most beautiful place that I know
