What’s Left of Texas?
[Verse 1]
There's a Walmart Supercenter
In the field where I use to bale my daddy's hay
Where we used to ride our horses
Now sits a brand new café
The ol' house where my grand-dad was born
Was torn down in 1973
Aw, they're makin' off with everything that's left
So what's left of Texas for me
[Chorus]
They're takin' God's name out of the schools
And Robert Earl Keen right off the radio
They're takin' John Wayne out of Hollywood
Replaced him with some broke-back picture show
And ol' Waylon would sure be mad as hell
If he knew they cuffed ol' Willie for smokin' weed
Aw, they're makin' off with everything that's left
So what's left of Texas for me
[Verse 2]
Well there used to be this ol' honky-tonk
Right down there beside that ol' town square
That's where I had my first dance
As I ran my fingers through her auburn hair
It was torn down to build a dealership
Of some foreign car nobody'd ever seen
They're makin' off with everything that's left
So what's left of Texas for me
[Chorus]
They're takin' God's name out of the schools
And Robert Earl Keen right off the radio
They're takin' John Wayne out of Hollywood
Replaced him with some broke-back picture show
And ol' Waylon would sure be mad as hell
If he knew they cuffed ol' Willie for smokin' weed
They're makin' off with everything that's left
So what's left of Texas for me
[Chorus]
They're takin' God's name out of the schools
And Gary P. Nunn right off the radio
They're takin' John Wayne out of Hollywood
Replaced him with some broke-back picture show
Ol' Waylon would sure be mad as hell
If he knew they cuffed ol' Willie for smokin' weed
They're makin' off with everything that's left
So what's left of Texas for me
Yeah, they're makin' off with everything that's left
So what's left of Texas for me
