Deep in the heart of Texas
That's where I wanna go
I want a cowboy shirt and a Mexican flirt
I wanna see the tumbleweeds blow
I wanna sit right back in my Cadillac
And listen to the radio

Deep in the heart of Texas
That's where I wanna be
I want black sunglasses, hi-heel boots
I wanna be a sight to see
I want a Western Stetson, Colt 45
With a pistol in my hand gonna come alive
I'm gonna shoot 'em up
I'm gonna shoot 'em down
I'm gonna run everybody right out of town
I'm gonna knock my Bourbon back in my hat
Deep in the heart of Texas

I'm gonna be a cow poke, no joke
Just you wait and see
And when the red man comes gonna get my guns
I'm gonna make him listen to me
I'm gonna have a ball, 'cause I seen it all
On my color TV

I'm gonna be a cow poke, no joke
Just you wait and see
And when the red man comes gonna get my guns
I'm gonna make him listen to me
I'm gonna have a ball, 'cause I seen it all
On my color TV

Deep in the heart of Texas, goodbye Tennessee
I wanna smoke cigars and hang 'round bars
My boots right up to my knee
I'm gonna have a ball, 'cause I seen it all
On my color TV
