Red and Rio Grande

[Intro]

One lone star waving in the wind

A longhorn standing proud behind a rusty barbed wire fence

Cowboy hats and hearts that necer bend

I was born and raised a Texan and will be 'til the end

As I travel down that blue bonnet highway

I'm thankful I was born a lucky man

And I know that I will live and die my own way

Somewhere between the Red and Rio Grande

Two old boots, dusty, worn, and stained

By the oilfields and the ranches and the blood that fell like rain

Heroes hearts that fought to change our name

From Tejas to Texas where the Lone Star proudly waves
