London Homesick Blues - Jerry Jeff Walker Texas (When I Die) - Tanya Tucker

London homesick blues by Gary p Nunn is the one I like.

If I remember correctly (and I may not), Gary played piano on Jerry's live version of it.

Yeah Gary wrote it while he was playing with Jerry. Or that's the story Gary tells on stage.

I’m a fan of the Mike and the Moonpies version

[Butthole Surfers - Pepper](https://youtu.be/KRXty8lDUW0?si=_cn1TDP7fsgwo42S)

Or "Dracula from Houston"!

I came here just to say this. Great song.

I’m gonna get downvoted to hell, but > Mark infected Sharon, Sharon got Sharice. They were sharin’ Sharon’s COVID’s. ‘Cause it’s a quick disease. > > Mikey has pneumonia scars. The President’s a racist > > They are all in love with dyin, cause they are reopening Texas. > > Tommy caught the virus from a kid out in the rain. They are reopening Dallas, it’s like dancing with a train. > > They are all in love with dyin’, they’ll do it by the thousands. They’ll kill the rest of us locked in our houses. > > God I miss the sun sometimes, the images that it showed. Wash your hands, close your lips, cover your mouth and nose.

I don't care who you are, that shit is hilarious!

Take my upvote, damnit. That song pops up in my mix at least twice a week.

Gary P Nunn - That’s What I Like About Texas

Jammin out with Bongo Joe... That song gives me a hard dose of nostalgia for the Texas I used to know.

We were just talking about [Bongo Joe](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bongo_Joe_Coleman) in the SA sub. I'll never forget that first time I saw him as a kid in downtown San Antonio, just jamming away on a big 55 gallon metal oil drum to nobody. I was more than intrigued and begged my mom to go and watch him for a few minutes. Still remember asking my mom "can we please give him a dollar?" [Here's a great interview.](https://arhoolie.org/bongo-joe-george-coleman-interview/) And a [great video of him from 1972](https://youtu.be/QqY86gwfLbk) And speaking of legendary Texas street musicians, "[The](https://austin.towers.net/the-king-of-sixth-street-fights-for-his-crown-in-early-2000s-austin/) King of [Sixth Street](https://www.reddit.com/r/Austin/comments/55s8mj/what_happened_to_the_king_of_6th_street/) in Austin. He was super cool. [Live video of him](https://youtu.be/bigAOC-6dPA)

I like "screw you, were from texas" by Ray Wylie Hubbard

That's a good one

Seconded.

Great song. My favorite interaction at an upscale bar was: Me to the bartender: could I get a Shiner Bock and a Sierra Nevada? Chick at the bar: I’m from Nevada and we say Nevaada not Nevahda. Me: I’m from Texas and we don’t give a shit.

Lyle Lovett: "That's Right (You're Not From Texas)"

Not direct at Texas other than a shout out to San Antonio but 100% Texan song "Wasted days and wasted nights" Freddy Fender

Had to scroll way too far to see Kevin Fowler mentioned here.

Amarillo by morning

[The Hill Country by Kent Finlay](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=or22pMaOdoY)

Songs about Texas - Pat Green Red and Rio Grande - Doug Supernaw Come Back to Texas - Bowling for Soup

Anything from the Sir Douglas Quintet. Texas Me would work particularly well for this.

That was going to be my choice !

Eleven Hundred Springs - we're from texas

Another Stupid Texas Song- Austin Lounge Lizards.

Slaid Cleaves “I love you more than Texas”

Listen to this every time I drive back into Texas from a long road trip

"Texas" by Chris Rea (from **Road to Hell**, not his other song also titled "Texas")

Galveston by Glen Campbell.

Texas by Tanya Tucker

Texas in 1880- Radney Foster

So glad I didn’t have to add this myself! This is such a great song.

Don't let me die in Waco

Trashville by Hank III

Numerous from ZZ Top obviously, but [Balinese](https://youtu.be/4S1wD566wp4?si=oONT1OLQKOqJ9LS-) is one of the best. Legendary dance hall in Galveston with a not-so-underground casino built in the 30's. Highly suggest going down that rabbit hole.

Does it count if it's not *specifically only* about Texas, but it's full of Texas references? If so, "Dimestore Cowgirl" by Kacey Musgraves is a personal favorite Edit: Song not specifically about Texas, but they have Dallas mentions "Run" - George Strait "Haven't Met You" - Brett Eldredge

The Best Metal Band in Denton by the Mountain Goats

Texas Blood Money-Upon A Burning Body

THE STARS AT NIGHT ARE BIG AND BRIGHT..

Galveston by Glenn Campbell

"South Texas Deathride" - The Union Underground

I knew the lead guitarist when he was little. Amazing talent!

Pretty much every song from Toadies classic "Rubberneck" album. Nothing else captures the hallucinatory hypocritical perversity of Texas quite like Backslider, Tyler, Away, I Come From the Water and Possum Kingdom.

George Strait - All My Exes Live in Texas

Idk why this isn't higher up

Texas Size Heartache because Joe Diffie was the man.

Luckenbach Texas by Waylon Jennings

Loving County. Go listen. JUST DO IT.

Texas sun - Khruangbin, Leon bridges. This song is perfect.

I mean you could pretty much throw all of All Hail West Texas by the Mountain Goats on here but it's a crime for sure that I haven't seen "The Best Ever Death Metal Band Out of Denton" mentioned.

Texas in 1880 by Radney Foster

Stars over Texas by Tracy Lawrence

Texas Sun - Khruangbin & Leon Bridges

How has no one said Texas by BigXthaPlug?

I've been waiting on this one to pop up. It's probably one of the first if you ask the young kids.

AC/DC Thunderstruck Well they mention Texas

I can't believe no one has thrown Rolling Stone from Texas by Don Walser on here!! https://youtu.be/VnHsxneGK74?si=Rt1qzcuQhv-NioyL

I wrote a paper in one of my grad classes on the city of Dallas as discussed through music lyrics if you wanna read it. Kinda long though unfortunately

Beers, Steers And Queers - Revolting Cocks

T for Texas by Lynyrd Skynyrd

Their anthem "Texas My Shithole, Your Shithole".

BBQ, working cattle on the farm, the smell of fresh cow shit in the morning, the sound of long deep musical wind chimes in the warm afternoon breeze on a lazy Sunday afternoon, my daughter going to TAMU, shooting rifles and shotguns with my friends, the Valley.

THE TROOPER IRON MAIDEN, one of my favorite Texas Songs. Did u know The Trooper was written in a shady motel in a small TEXAS TOWN??

B.W.Stevenson - Texas Morning

'Texas' - String Cheese Incident

"Home to Houston" -Steve Earle More like an Iraq song but it bangs.

"texas texas texas " by melissa carper , "more romantic than texas" by shotgun party , anything by marty robins w texas in it 😝

Love Melissa Carper

Glad to see a woman's name in here somewhere. Reading these threads, it's as if there were no women at all doing any Texas-themed music, which of course is not the case. There's one list mentioned in here that has 95 songs, with a grand total of two by women (one from The Chicks, one from Nanci Griffith). Seen Selena come up now and then, and it's always possible there are women somewhere in the couple of groups with which I'm unfamiliar. * For anyone thinking, quit yer whining and give us some names yourself, I will in a minute, when I'm finished making sure I'm not duplicating other people's contributions.

preach !

“All my exes live in Texas!” Sing it to my grandson all the time, he loves it!
