Story behind the song
Songwriter/flour salesman-turned-governor W. Lee "Pappy" O’Daniel was one of the more interesting political figures of the 20th century, and surely a role model for George W Bush in modern times.
Lyrics
You've all read the beautiful stories of the countries far over the sea, From whence came our ancestors To establish this land of the free. There are some folks who still like to travel To see what they have over there, But when they go look, it's not like the book and they find there is none to compare to CHORUS Beautiful, beautiful Texas Where the wonderful bluebonnets grow We're proud of our forefathers Who fought at the Alamo You may live on the plains Or in the mountains Or down where the sea breezes blow But you're still in beautiful Texas The most beautiful land that I know. You can travel on beautiful highways, By the city, the village and farm, Or sail above on the skyways, And the beauty below you will charm. White cotton, green forests, blue rivers, Golden wheat fields and fruit trees that bear. You can look to doomsday, and then you will say, oh Repeat Chorus
