The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Don't sell Texas short,
There's some lovely people in Dallas.
They're the gentle ones,
They don't carry guns,
And they don't give a damn for Wallace,
So don't sell Texas short.
Don't sell Texas short,
There's some lively students in Austin
They're strong for peace
And for Huey's release
And they're more progressive than Boston
So don't sell Texas short.
Don't sell Texas short,
There's some good progressives in Houston
When they face it there
You know they care
And a Texas liberal's a good one,
So don't sell Texas short.
Don't sell Texas short,
Cause the Southwest has started risin'
Whatever they do,
They follow through,
And you might find them quite surprisin'
So don't sell Texas short.
