Well Iâve been to Louisiana, Missouri and Tennessee. Theyâve got a little town in Ohio where everybody been real good to me. Northern California: thatâs where the women taste like wine; but if you take me back to Texas I wonât mind.
Well I went out to Oklahoma, on up to Michigan. I came back down through old Chicago; I felt the cold wind blow again. Iâve seen smilinâ faces in all those places and Iâm going back sometime but if you take me back to Texas I wonât mind.
Chorus
Take me back to Texas I wonât mind I wonât mind. New Yorkâs great but the lone star state is where I spend my time. Iâve been around the world but I just canât seem to shake this state of mind so take me back to Texas I wonât mind.
I spent the time of my life in the city of lights some people call gay paree. I stayed up all night with some friends of mine down in Berlin Germany. Iâve seen smilinâ faces in all those places and Iâm going back sometime but if you take me back to Texas I wonât mind. Said if you take me back to Texas I wonât mind. Take me back to Texas I wonât mind.
