Take Me To Texas

Take Me to Texas - George Strait Take me to Texas two hundred years ago Where a pride rose from the ashes of San Jacinto It still beats in every heart like a battle cry Where I was born where I was raised so when I die [CHORUS] Take me to Texas on the open range; the Rio Grande is in my veins Its heaven there and so my prayer Is that you’ll take me anywhere in Texas                       D                  D#dim7         Em The only home I know. I’m a child of the Alamo and the Yellow Rose So when I go Take me to Texas where my daddy worked Where his blood and sweat and tears are still in that red dirt Wild Palo-minos run. Cow-boys are kings And if I stray too far I’ll let my Lone Star dreams [CHORUS] Take me to Texas on the open range; the Rio Grande is in my veins Its heaven there and so my prayer Is that you’ll take me anywhere in Texas                       D                  D#dim7         Em The only home I know. I’m a child of the Alamo and the Yellow Rose So when I go take me to Texas           [BRIDGE] There’s something in the sky and in your momma’s eyes So even if you try to move away.
