There’s a Walmart Super Center in the
field where I use to bale my dad

Where we use to ride our hors

cafe
The old house where my granddad was born was torn down i

They’re makin off with everything that’s l
eft, so whats left of Texas for
me
Chorus:
They’re taking God’s name out of the schools and Robert Earl Keen right off the
radio
They’re taking John Wayne out of Hollywood, replaced him with some broke back pictur
e show
And ol’ Waylon would sure be mad as hell if he knew they cuffed ol’ Willy for smokin’
weed
Ah they’re makin off with everything that’s l
eft, so what’s left of Texas for
me
Well there use to be some honkey tonk
right down there beside that old town
square
That’s where I had my first dance as
I ran my fingers through her
auburn hair
It was torn down to build a dealership some foreign car nobody’d eve

Yeah they’re makin off with everything that’s l
eft, so whats left of Texas for
me
Chorus
Ending:
They’re taking God’s name out of the schools and Gary P Nunn right off the
radio
They’re taking John Wayne out of Hollywood, replaced him with some broke back picture
show
And ol’ Waylon would sure be mad as hell if he knew they cuffed ol’ Willy for smokin’
weed
Ah they’re makin off with everything that’s
left, so whats left of T
exas for
me
Yeah they’re makin off with everything that’s
left, so whats left of Texas for
