"If you haven't climbed up to Enchanted Rock,
Drank a cold Shiner down in Luckenbach,
Taken your baby to the River Walk,
Then you ain't met My Texas yet.
If you haven't floated down the 'Ol Frio,
Heard Red Dirt music on your radio,
Eaten Cooper's down in Llano,
Then you ain't met My Texas yet.
You haven't been to the Houston rodeo,
Sang "Carry On" at a Pat Green show,
If you ain't seen an Abilene sunset,
Then you ain't met My Texas yet.
If you never caught a trout down in Port A,
Heard the words to Corpus Christi Bay,
Never seen fireworks on PK,
Then you ain't met My Texas yet.
Havent had a kolache when you go through West,
Never heard of the Larry Jo Taylor fest,
Think polished pop country crap sounds the best,
Then you ain't met My Texas yet.
You haven't been to the Ft. Worth stock show,
Sang along with Cory Morrow,
You ain't seen a hill country sunset,
Then you ain't met My Texas yet.
You say you haven't hiked through Big Bend,
Had your hair blown back by a Lubbock wind,
Been somewhere where they call you "friend",
then you ain't met My Texas yet.
You haven't been to the San Antone
rodeo,
Sang "Everclear" at a Creager show,
If you ain't seen an El Paso sunset,
Then you ain't met My Texas yet.
No, you ain't met My Texas yet!"

Been in Houston airport, that count?
Am actually coming to San Antonio this August[I'm sure it won't be hot].....
Can't wait to come there for the first time ever[beyond an airport]. Be sure to see the Alamo & Nagels Gunshop. I would go to the gunshop if'n I knew how to get there. Been to the Alamo and loved lookin' at the Robert E Lee Hotel. Especially loved the "air conditioned" sign. My bride and I are winter Texans(thanks for allowing us in the state for 3-4 months a year) We stay on the water on lake lbj. Great fishin' hole you got there. We rent a house in a cove and have a covered dock and boat lift. It's the only time I fish during the year is the time I'm in Texas. Otherwise I just hunt-shoot and reload when back in freezeville. We have been to San Anton every year and eat at the Bass Pro restaurant when there.(Its part of the shopping we do) I would like to do more driving around and looking in San Anton but my truck only goes 110 mph and it's hard to keep up with traffic on the express ways. Also we wonder what happened to the warm weather we had last year in the mornings?
Take your kids and your grand kids huntin' and shootin'.

I was born in Texas. Only lived there for about 6 weeks or until I was old enough and it cooled off enough to make the drive to Oregon.

I agree fellas that Zentner's Daughters isn't what it used to be but their average steak is better than most folks best effort. Next time trry Western Sky on N.Chadbourne.

Born in Wichita Falls the day WW2 was declared. Other than four years in the Corps I’ve never lived outside of Texas.
My G Grandfather on paternal side came to Texas from Tennessee ( by way of Missouri) in the ‘fifties.G G Grandfather on maternal side was already here, being Comanche.
I’ve lived in Young or adjoining counties since I was five years old.

When I'm in SA, I want Tex-Mex from any one of the numerous mom & pop joints that are 10 times better that Bass Pro's over priced Restaurant.
