It's about who I am and where I'm from.
I like sittin’ in the river, even when it gets low.
Driving on them back roads and going real slow.
I like drinkin’ frosty cans; I can sure put some back.
Hell I even like to kick around an old hacky sack.
Tell me I can’t do something and I’ll tell you where to go.
Tell me that I’m bullheaded, well there’s something I don’t know.

No this ain’t just another country song,
It’s about who I am and where I’m from.
Growing-up here you know it can’t be wrong.
Well I tell you one thing, I’m from Texas son.

Yeah I have tattoos and I’ll grow my hair out.
Been known to shoot whiskey, then scream and shout.
Now I’ll wear flip-flops with my pearl snaps.
A pair of old jeans and a John Deere cap.
I may still argue even when I know I’m wrong.
Cast my pole out and fish all night long.

No this ain’t just another country song,
It’s about who I am and where I’m from.
Growing-up here you know it can’t be wrong.
Well I tell you one thing, I’m from Texas son.

Give me giant sunsets and fire flies,
or those buzzing neon’s that light the skies.
Yes we have wide open spaces, and stumble in places,
Where the weather never stays the same.
You end-up somewhere your glad that you came.
Give me an excuse to go talk to this honey.
I’ll say something absurd; I hope she thinks that it’s funny.
I do like to have fun and live life on the run.

No this ain’t just another country song,
It’s about who I am and where I’m from.
Growing-up here you know it can’t be wrong.
Well I tell you one thing, I’m from Texas son.

Just another country song.
About what I’ve done.
Though my story’s not long.
I’m from Texas son.
