[Verse 1]
She says she's from Texas, let me tell you what that means
It means she'll give you the shirt off her back, then wash yours clean
It means Friday nights we were raising hell on backroads, just us two
She'd steal her daddy's truck and swear me to the truth
[Verse 2]
She's got that drawl that melts like honey, but don't get it wrong
She'll cut you down with words so sweet you'll thank her before you're gone
I've seen her hold her mama's hand through every single chemo round
Then walk out smiling, saying "Y'all, we're painting this whole town"
[Chorus]
She's from Texas, that don't mean she's yours to keep
She's from Texas, she's wild wheat, not fenced-in sheep
You think you know her 'cause she let you hold her hand
But I've known her since we were twelve and I still don't understand
How something that beautiful keeps on breaking its own heart
She's from Texas, she's a masterpiece of falling apart
[Verse 3]
She writes songs 'bout leaving, but she never says goodbye
She'll be three states away and still call me to cry
About some boy who didn't get it, about some dream that didn't land
I just listen, 'cause that's what best friends in Texas do, that's the plan
[Chorus]
She's from Texas, that don't mean she's yours to keep
She's from Texas, she's wild wheat, not fenced-in sheep
You think you know her 'cause she let you hold her hand
But I've known her since we were twelve and I still don't understand
How something that beautiful keeps on breaking its own heart
She's from Texas, she's a masterpiece of falling apart
[Bridge]
And if she ever settles down, I'll be the one surprised
If she ever stops running, I'll look for the sunrise
'Cause Texas made her restless, Texas made her strong
Texas made my sister, and I'll love her all life long
[Outro]
So when you hear her singing 'bout where she's from
Just know there's two of us in that anthem, not just one
She's from Texas
And I'm from knowing her
That's my home
