We all can think of at least a dozen songs about
Texas right off the top of our heads. Then I really started poking around to
see how many there were, and I had NO IDEA what I was getting into!! I found
out one thing- there are more songs about Texas, than there are about anywhere
else on this planet, probably all put together. Hundreds and hundreds of them.
Here's a list of SOME I came up
with. Not every one is included, and I left out any that just dealt with Texas
towns and cities, like "San Antonio Rose" or "Amarillo By Morning", and didn't
count Christmas songs, (after all, I do have a life).
Many of these songs have been recorded by multiple
artists, but I tried to list the best known versions, or at least those I was
familiar with.
