Lyrics
If I left Texas
Would your Lone Star stated bluebonnets even look my way?
And if I don't vote Republican
Can I still come home again around Christmas?
Your big red arms held me
For so long, it would seem I'm in need of a blue state
And you know I'll always call you home
But I don't know if I'll call home
When you don't wanna call me anything
And breakin' up with Texas didn't seem to be so reckless
But when you don't own a gun, it's a lot less fun
So goodbye, Texas
If I left Texas
Would that hot-headed sunset ever
Come rest her sweet head down right here?
And when I don't think it's selfish to try to change yourself then
Oh Texas, we don't see eye to eye
You got wide open spaces, I know
But what was green now won't grow
I'm in need of a blue state
And you know I'll always call you home
But I don't know if I'lI call home
When you don't wanna call me anything
And breakin' up with Texas didn't seem to be so reckless
But when you don't own a gun, it's a lot less fun
So goodbye, Texas
I tell George and Tanya that I'm so sorry but
They hardly believe me again
I shoulda said this when I was thirteen
But I swear that I said things back then
I'd bet you on your yellow roses
You'll be the first to notice
When I'm wrong
So goodbye, Texas
Goodbye Texas, goodbye Texas, goodbye yellow roses
So goodbye, Texas
Goodbye Texas, goodbye Texas, goodbye yellow roses
So goodbye, Texas
Goodbye Texas, goodbye Texas, goodbye yellow roses
