Lyrics

I've been shining bright like a lone star On the highway honing my sound From the dive bars in Alice To the honky-tonks in Dallas I'm in Texas holdin' it down This guitar's got its share of dings and scuff marks No polish on the body or the crown But it's got something deep inside That lets me sing with pride I'm in Texas holdin' it down I've got the West Texas dust And that East Texas rust A little San Antone and a touch of Cowtown I've got the wind and I've got the salt I've got songs in the vault I'm in Texas holdin' it down There's a long, white line of Hall of Famers Who traversed all across this sacred ground From the Panhandle plains To the South Texas grains I'm in Texas holdin' it down I've got the West Texas dust And that East Texas rust A little San Antone and a touch of Cowtown I've got the wind and I've got the salt I've got songs in the vault I'm in Texas holdin' it down I prefer to wave the flag of independence And I like to get a little bit unwound My songs are all sung in my own native tongue I'm in Texas holdin' it down I've got the West Texas dust And that East Texas rust A little San Antone and a touch of Cowtown I've got the wind and I've got the salt I've got songs in the vault I'm in Texas holdin' it down I'm in Texas holdin' it down
