Lyrics

The bold boundary lines of Texas hold graceful rolling rivers
Blessed living waters that flow throughout the land
From rugged Palo Duro down to Big Bend and old Laredo
Those mighty majestic rivers keep on thriving to the end

Every Texas river runs its course
Destined for the border still connected to its source
It may start from a mountain or a spring- fed fountain
But, every Texas river runs its course

It rushes onward carving out the way
Cutting through the limestone and the clay
Pouring past the rocky ridges running under railroad bridge
Every Texas river carves the way

A good ole Texas river is a life sustaining giver
Extending out its branches to the valleys and the ranches
Feeding lakes and reservoirs then flowing to the coastal shores
When ya think of Texas proper and the gifts it has to offer
It might lead one to consider that a good ole Texas river
Is a crowning jewel of the lone star state
Every Texas river is a guide
Navigating through the countryside
It may hook up with the Rio Grande or lead you to the promised land
But, every Texas river is a guide

It glides along creating its own theme
Set between the up and downward stream
Rising to the surface is its everlasting purpose
Yes, every Texas river owns a theme

A good ole Texas river has a lifeline to deliver
Reaching out its many arms bringing water to the orchard farms
Providing irrigation for the crops and vegetation
When ya think of Texas proper and the gifts it has to offer
It might lead one to consider that a good ole Texas river
Is a crowning jewel of the lone star state

Every Texas river has a song
A voice from the spirit coming in clear and strong
You may hear it in the rapid falls or echo through the canyon walls
But every Texas river has a song

It rolls on through the ages writing a book
Just open the pages and take a real good look
Stories of the native tribes and cowboy culture cattle drives
Yes, every Texas river writes a book

A good ole Texas river is a life sustaining giver
Extending out its branches to the valleys and the ranches
Feeding lakes and reservoirs then flowing to the coastal shores
When ya think of Texas proper and the gifts it has to offer
It might lead one to consider that a good ole Texas river
Is a crowning jewel of the mighty lone star state
