    C                G 
For you, I’d give up all my time 
C                 F 
Searching for the perfect rhyme 
C                              G          G7 
And this is one that certainly perplexes 
    C                  G 
For you, I would spend all my days 
C                   F 
Thinking up all the crazy ways 
  C             G                C 
I love you even more than I love Texas 

        C                  G 
You got Bellaire class and Dallas style 
C                 F 
Austin soul and a Luckenbach smile 
    C                               G      G7 
For you I’d trade my truck in for a Lexus 
    C                     G 
You smell as sweet as the piney woods 
    C              F 
I’d marry you if I thought I could 
  C             G                C      C7 
I love you even more than I love Texas 

           F 
You’re the barb on my wire 
    C 
The spark in my campfire 
                                    G            G7 
There’s no brighter star in all the multiplexes 
  C                    G 
I love this state, you know I do 
        C                  F 
But the best thing in this state is you 
  C             G                C 
I love you even more than I love Texas 

     C                   G 
Your wit’s as sharp as a prickly pear 
    C                  F 
The sun shines in your golden hair 
     C                                G         G7 
Your smile hits me right in the solar plexus 
C                     G 
Skin as soft as early morning rain 
C                        F 
Temper like a gulf coast hurricane 
  C             G                C 
I love you even more than I love Texas 

         C                 G 
From the Mucky Duck to the Broken Spoke 
    C                       F 
You know this state like an old cowpoke 
    C                               G          G7 
You know where all the tastiest Tex-Mex is 
        C              G 
You got Mattson on the radio 
        C               F 
Playing Robert Earl and Billy Joe 
  C             G                C     C7 
I love you even more than I love Texas 

           F 
You’re the barb on my wire 
    C 
The spark in my campfire 
                                     G          G7 
Let’s head out west where nobody can text us 
  C                G 
I promise you I’ll never cheat 
           C                   F 
Or you can throw me out in the old mesquite 
  C             G                C 
I love you even more than I love Texas 
    C              G 
And if you make me leave this state 
     C                 F 
I’ll curse but I won’t hesitate 
         C             G                C 
‘Cause I love you even more than I love Texas
