Lyrics
BETWEEN AUSTIN AND SAN ANTONIO
(1)
GOT A PIECE OF LAND
THAT'S HEAVEN ON EARTH.
THERE'S NOT ENOUGH MONEY IN THIS WORLD,
TO PAY ME WHAT IT'S WORTH.
SITTIN' ON MY BACK PORCH,
PARADISE IS ALL I SEE.
IT'S GOTTA BE HEAVEN,
'CAUSE THERE'S AN ANGEL NEXT TO ME.
CHORUS
BETWEEN AUSTIN AND SAN ANTONIO,
THERE'S A PLACE I LIKE TO CALL
MY PERSONAL ALAMO.
THAT'S WHERE I'LL BE LIVIN' AND LOVIN'
TILL ITS MY TIME TO GO,
BETWEEN AUSTIN AND SAN ANTONIO
(2)
CITY LIFE'S OKAY.
BUT, IT'S NOT FOR ME.
I NEED TO HAVE WIDE OPEN SPACES,
WITH CLEAN FRESH AIR TO BREATHE.
LAZY RIVER FLOWIN' THROUGH MY BACK YARD,
FISH JUMPIN' HIGH.
PRIVACY AND FREEDOM,
BENEATH A CLEAR, BLUE TEXAS SKY.
REPEAT CHORUS
