Came down the road with a U-Haul full
Trading smog for skies so blue and full
But leave your baggage
At the state line gate
Don't bring the mess
That sealed your fate
Don't California my Texas
Keep it strong and free
This land's about the hard work
Faith, and liberty
We built it with our calloused hands
Proud and standing tall
So don't California my Texas
Don't change us at all
There's room for those
Who wanna start anew
But respect the roots
The red, white, and blue
This ain't the place f
For your city slick schemes
We're ranches, boots
And American dreams
Don't California my Texas
Keep it strong and free
This land's about the hard work, faith
And liberty
We built it with our calloused hands
Proud and standing tall
So don't California my Texas
Don't change us at all
This soil grows more
Than the cotton and corn
It's where grit and pride
Are forever born
If you're here to stay
Just remember this
It's the Lone Star way
You shouldn't dismiss
So shake off the ways
That brought you down
Plant your roots deep
In this hallowed ground
We'll welcome you
With open arms and grace
But don't try to change
This sacred place
