There's a Walmart Supercenter in the field
Where I use to bale my daddy's hay
And where we used to ride our horses
Now sits a brand new cafe
The ole' house where my grand-dad was born
Was torn down in 1973
Oh, they're makin' off with everything that's left
So what's left of Texas for me?
They're takin' God's name out of the schools
And Robert Earl Keen right off the radio
They're takin' John Wayne out of Hollywood
Replaced him with some broke-back picture show
And ole' Waylon would sure be mad as hell
If he knew they'd cuffed ole' Willie for smokin' weed
Oh, they're makin' off with everything that's left
So what's left of Texas for me?
Well, there used to be this ole' honky tonk
Right down there beside that ole' town square
That's where I had my first dance
As I ran my fingers through her auburn hair
It was torn down to build a dealership
Of some foreign car nobody'd ever seen
Yeah, they're makin' off with everything that's left
So what's left of Texas for me?
Yeah, they're takin' God's name out of the schools
And Robert Earl Keen right off the radio
They've takin' John Wayne out of Hollywood
Replaced him with some broke-back picture show
And ole' Waylon would sure be mad as hell
If he knew they cuffed ole' Willie for smokin' weed
Oh, they're makin' off with everything that's left
So what's left of Texas for me?
