Sammy Cahn/James Van Heusen

Texas across the river where my wandrin' days I'll bid goodbye
Just the sound of Texas gets me "boom" in the solar plexus
It's enough to make a grown man cry

Texas across the river Don't need signs to tell you where you're at
Ain't a trace of shade there Think the only real shade that's made there,
Is the shade that's underneath your hat

Texas across the river Texas, I never will roam
Texas, calling Texas my home!
