ya down in texas we got our own style
we say "we're fixin' to" in country mile
10 cowboys hats and cowboy boots
we say "howdy yall" well ah, howdy doo
we're laid back crazy 'cause it's understood
when you live down in texas life is good
life is good
life is good
ya down in texas we know wrong from right
work hard all day we party all night
we say "yes sir" and a "thank you ma'am"
if you dont like it we dont give a damn
we do things the way we think we should
'cause we live down in texas where life is good
this life is good
ya life is good
and every man in the whole wide world
he falls in love with pretty texas girls
i've found out that everythings true
women all around, well come on through
thats right
hey down in texas we say "dont complain"
just thank the Lord for the pourin' rain
guys he's got a bottle on sunny days
we say we like it here, well either way
we wouldn't change things even if we could
'cause everyday in texas life is good
this life is good
ya life is good
life is good
ya life is good
