Texas, Our Texas! all hail the mighty State!
Texas, Our Texas! so wonderful so great!
Boldest and grandest, withstanding ev'ry test
O Empire wide and glorious, you stand supremely blest.
Texas, O Texas! your freeborn single star,
Sends out its radiance to nations near and far,
Emblem of Freedom! it set our hearts aglow,
With thoughts of San Jacinto and glorious Alamo.
Texas, dear Texas! from tyrant grip now free,
Shines forth in splendor, your star of destiny!
Mother of heroes, we come your children true,
Proclaiming our allegiance, our faith, our love for you.
God bless you Texas! And keep you brave and strong,
That you may grow in power and worth, throughout the ages long.
God bless you Texas! And keep you brave and strong,
That you may grow in power and worth, throughout the ages long.
(Texas State Song)

Thanks everybody, it was fun to make but it's not holding up as good a I had hoped. In Texas people find a lot of interesting things to do with old boots...I guess 'cause there's just a lot of them. lol
I'm working on doing a whole set of "Things we do with old cowboy boots"
& watch it now Pfflyer I'll never been a coyote girl! LOL (and by the way that is pronounced KI OAT, that dang cartoon has everyone saying cow oat eee and it's just plain wrong. ;)
& Idoit the Wise Of course but you see Texas IS a pure state of mind! ;-D
& Dear Steiner62 LOL... and speaking of a state of mind...Mr. Prez sure does seem to be off in his own huh?
