Happy Birthday to the Great Republic of Texas

[RainMaker]

It's March 2nd - Independence Day for true Texans and those who wish they were.






"Texas, Our Texas"

Texas, Our Texas! all hail the mighty State!
Texas, Our Texas! so wonderful so great!
Boldest and grandest, withstanding ev'ry test
O Empire wide and glorious, you stand supremely blest.

Texas, O Texas! your freeborn single star,
Sends out its radiance to nations near and far,
Emblem of Freedom! it set our hearts aglow,
With thoughts of San Jacinto and glorious Alamo.

Texas, dear Texas! from tyrant grip now free,
Shines forth in splendor, your star of destiny!
Mother of heroes, we come your children true,
Proclaiming our allegiance, our faith, our love for you.

God bless you Texas! And keep you brave and strong,
That you may grow in power and worth, throughout the ages long.

As any Texan who has ever lived elsewhere!"

Warm winds blowin...
Heat and blues skies...
And a road... that goes forever...
I'm going to Texas...

They got big long roads out there...

Big steaks, big cars, no trouble, man...
That's the place for me...
I'm going to Texas...

I wasn't born here but by God I got here as soon as I could.   I have claimed Texas as my home for over 20 years.  I have always loved it here and do not plan on leaving, until God, Himself, takes me.  Like the song goes "God Bless Texas".  I love that flag "Come And Take It".  Happy Birthday Texas!!!
