What am I doing in Texas
I’m not a Southern Belle
I was born in Philadelphia
A place I liked so well
What am I doing in Texas
A state that’s really hot
And no one should forget
This is where JFK was shot
What am I doing in Texas
I don’t even own a horse
Nor can I even ride one
I was taken here by force
What am I doing in Texas
One son has moved away
He lives out in San Diego
And there he plans to stay
What am I doing in Texas
We left to escape the cold
We needed a bigger home
The one up North we sold
What am I doing in Texas
A place I have made friends
I go to the beach quite often
It seems the heat never ends
What am I doing in Texas
My husband is semi-retired
He has his own little business
He’s the boss and can’t be fired
What am I doing in Texas
What am I doing here
I do enjoy the Mexican Food
Margaritas and Shiner Bock beer
What am I doing in Texas
The same as everyone
Living from day to day
Doing what needs to be done
