Texas Ain’t the Biggest Anymore Songtext
von Joe South

Well, I was ridin′ along way out west
When I heard a mournful sound
So I stopped my car and I got out
Started a-lookin' around

I saw a little bitty cowboy
Sittin′ there havin' himself a cry
When I asked him what in the world was wrong
He said with a tear in his eye
(Texas ain't the biggest anymore)

Texas ain′t the biggest anymore
(No, no, no)
Texas ain′t the biggest anymore
(Boo, hoo, hoo)
Everything was goin' great
(Until they added another state)
Now, Texas ain′t the biggest anymore

(Ah, Texas, ain't it a shame?)


Now, things ain′t the same in the Lone Star State
Or the home on the range
And think of all the songs about Texas
That's gonna have to be changed

He said "They′re laughin' at Texas
Makin' up jokes and talkin′ a lot of bull"
Then he took off his little Stetson hat
And sat there and cried a full
(Texas ain′t the biggest anymore)

Texas ain't the biggest anymore
(No, no, no)
Texas ain′t the biggest anymore
(Boo, hoo, hoo)
Everything was goin' fine
(Until they added number forty-nine)
Now, Texas ain′t the biggest anymore
(No, no)

Hey there, got a map?
