Texas has been on my mind a lot lately as I have been reading an old book on the history of my state. Last night it started running through my head just how many songs are about Texas and how they can be used to describe it. Here are some examples.
Texas is...
Amarillo by Morning
Lubbock in my Rearview Mirror
Across the Alley From the Alamo
Deep in the Heart of Texas
The Streets of Laredo
The Red River Valley
Houston
Amarillo Highway
Dallas Days and Fort Worth Nights
Bob Wills is Still the King
Abilene
San Angelo
McKenzie Park
Waltz Across Texas
Big Ball in Cowtown
San Antonio Rose
T for Texas
Well those are the ones I can think of right off hand. I'm sure there are others and if you have any you would like to share, please post them in blog comments.
Oh, one more title:
God Bless Texas!!
How about "Galveston"...one of my favorite Glen Campbell songs. Now you've got me thinking about songs from Texas...can't get it outta my head.
