Story Behind The Song
When lyricist Michael Porter got married, his wife was from Texas. She had grown up in Lubbock and her father had gone to high school with Buddy Holly and his brother. He also knew Peggy Sue. So I wrote the lyrics for them.

Lyrics
May the Lone Star Flag Forever Fly
©2005 Michael Porter & Wake Eastman

On a calm day in Texas we chase tornadoes
On a slow day we race our pickup trucks
On a hot day down in Texas we drink Tabasco
And on a bad day we thank God for our good luck
May the Lone Star Flag forever fly
May the spirit of the Alamo never die
Coach Landry walks the sidelines high up in the sky
May the Lone Star Flag forever fly
On a straight day down in Texas we shoot tequila
On a dry day we wildcat a well
On a tame day in Texas we break a stallion
And on a down day we raise all kinds of hell
May the Lone Star Flag forever fly
May the spirit of the Alamo never die
Stevie Ray plays guitar high up in the sky
May the Lone Star Flag forever fly
Buddy Holly sings "Rave On"
Bob Wills still swings to his "Rose of San Antoine"
May the Lone Star Flag forever fly
May the spirit of the Alamo never die
May all our fallen heroes ride high up in the sky
May the Lone Star Flag forever fly
May the Lone Star Flag forever fly
May the spirit of the Alamo never die
May all our fallen heroes ride high up in the sky
May the Lone Star Flag forever fly
