For shame not including the National Anthem of the Republic of Texas :nono You have been asked to leave the state and not return.

 

The stars at night - are big and bright

Deep in the heart of texas.

The prairie sky - is wide and high

Deep in the heart of texas.

The sage in bloom - is like perfume

Deep in the heart of texas.

Reminds me of - the one I love

Deep in the heart of texas.

The cowboys cry - ki-yip-pie-yi

Deep in the heart of texas.

The rabbits rush - around the brush

Deep in the heart of texas.

The coyotes wail - along the trail

Deep in the heart of texas.

The doggies bawl - and bawl and bawl

Deep in the heart of texas.

I know y'all non-Texans would want to know what to do when the Texas pledge is being recited. Besides suffering from state envy, y'all probaly wouldn't want anyone to know ya'aint from aroun here.

 

Pledge of Allegiance to the State Flag

 

(a) The pledge of allegiance to the state flag is, "Honor the Texas flag; I pledge allegiance to thee, Texas, one and indivisible."

 

(B) The pledge of allegiance to the state flag should be rendered by all present except those in uniform by standing at attention facing the flag with the right hand over the heart. Individuals who are not in uniform and who are wearing a headdress that is easily removeable should remove their headdress with their right hand and hold it at the left shoulder, with the hand over the heart. Individuals in uniform should remain silent, face the flag, and render the military salute.

 

© The pledge of allegiance to the state flag may be recited at all public and private meetings at which the pledge of allegiance to the United States flag is recited and at state historical events and celebrations.

 

(d) The pledge of allegiance to the state flag should be recited after the pledge of allegiance to the United States flag if both are recited.

Sadly I still know the words to that and the Canadian National Anthem :bang

There are words after Oh Canada??

 

Remember never ask a man if he's from Texas. If he is, he'll tell you soon enough. And if he ain't, well there is no need to embarass him :D

I have to admit. I do have Texas envy.

 

 

I dont. I drove across the panhandle on I-40 back in late December and saw nothing but sand and had to dodge flying tumbleweeds. Nothing special about the place at all.

Ha! That's what I love about it. I'd love to have a 10,000 acre ranch down there and do nothing all day but fence mending. Yee - effin' Haw! (Where's the smiley with the cowboy hat?)

"I can see you got your eye on this ole cowboy

and I can tell you've never had one for your own

Or you've never been around one

Now you're thinking that you've found one

Well, it might be kind of fun to take him home.

 

You giggle everytime I say 'Yes, ma'am.'

And I get this feeling that if I held you tight

You'd be seeing his and hers

Buckles, boots, and spurs

But that's a feeling you'll get over overnight.

 

Chorus:

Cause watcha gonna do with a cowboy

When that ole rooster crows at dawn,

And he's lying there instead

Of gettin out of bed

And puttin on his boots and getting gone?

Watcha gonna do when he says, 'Honey,

I got half a mind to stay'?

Watcha gonna do with a cowboy

when he don't saddle up and ride away?

 

You see it takes a special kind of woman

To put up with the life a cowboy leads

Cause his boots are always muddy

And his beer drinking buddies

Will camp out on the couch and never leave.

 

Don't even start to think you're gonna change him

You'll be better off to try to rope the wind.

What he his is what you got

and he can't be what he's not

and honey you can't hide him from your friends.

 

Chorus

 

Yeah whatcha gonna do with a cowboy

when he don't saddle up and ride away?"
