Well, I just got paid and I'm leaving today
Gonna take a ride on the Texas side
I've got my boots and my hat and my guitar
And I'm ready for whatever comes my way
(Chorus)
I want to take a ride on the Texas side
Aha, San Antone in it
I want to see the sights and hear the sounds
And meet the people and drink the beer
(Verse 2)
I'm gonna start in Houston and work my way west
Gonna see the Alamo in San Antone
I'm gonna dance the night away in Austin
And then I'll head on down to the Rio Grande
(Chorus)
I want to take a ride on the Texas side
Aha, San Antone in it
I want to see the sights and hear the sounds
And meet the people and drink the beer
(Bridge)
I've heard stories about the Texas heat
And the scorpions and the snakes
But I'm not afraid
I'm gonna take it all in stride
(Chorus)
I want to take a ride on the Texas side
Aha, San Antone in it
I want to see the sights and hear the sounds
And meet the people and drink the beer
(Outro)
I'm gonna take a ride on the Texas side
And I'm never gonna forget it
