Well is anyone here from Texas?
I think we should adopt him!

I got some cowboy boots, jeans, an hawaiian shirt
I got some mirrored sunglasses, got a mobile phone
I guess I look like some Port Aransas dope dealer
Who's out on bail just tryin' to get on
But I ain't in jail and I got me a guitar
Got a little band here that's hotter than a rocket
Sometimes we're sloppy, we're always loud
Tonight we're just ornery, locked in the pocket

So screw you, we're from Texas
Screw you, we're from Texas
Screw you, we're from Texas
We're from Texas, screw you

Now don't get me wrong I love the USA
And all the other states, you know they're okay
But Texas is the place that I wanna be
And I doubt if I'll ever get a gig anywhere else anyway
Why would I wanna go when we got Antone's and Stubbs?
And Gruene Hall, we got old John T's Country Store
We've got Willie and Jerry Jeff and Robert Earl Keen
Hayes Call, and a whole bunch more

So screw you, we're from Texas
Screw you, we're from Texas
Screw you, we're from Texas
We're from Texas, sing it with us

Screw you, we're from Texas
Screw you, we're 'bout Texas
Screw you, we're from Texas
We're from Texas, screw you

Now Texas has gotten a bad reputation
For what happened a long time ago down in Waco
And our corporations, some of them are a little sketchy
And the politicians, most of 'em are loco
But when it comes to music my friend, I can't believe
These words are as true as St. John the Revelator's
Yeah Stevie Ray Vaughan was the best guitar player I ever heard
No band was cooler than the 13th Floor Elevators

So screw you, we're from Texas
Screw you, we're from Texas
Screw you, we're from Texas
We're from Texas, screw you!
Let's tag it

Screw you, we're from Texas
We're from Texas Screw you

I think he's one of us!

Eric Church is an American country music singer-songwriter from Granite Falls, North Carolina. After graduating from Appalachian State University with a business degree in 2000, Eric became engaged to a Spanish teacher from Lenior, NC whose father attempted to deter his musical aspirations by offering him a corporate career in Denver. After turning down her father’s offer, Church’s ex-fiance broke the engagement, giving Church motivation to move to Nashville and begin focusing solely on his music. Recollections of this turning point in Church’s life are heard throughout his lyrical portfolio (most prominently in “Those I’ve Loved”).

After a period of being overlooked by record labels and producers, Church was eventually signed to Capitol Records in 2006, making his debut with the album, Sinners Like Me. The album produced four singles on the Billboard Country Chart, “How ‘Bout You,” “Two Pink Lines,” “Guys Like Me,” and the album’s title track.

His second album, 2009’s Carolina, produced three more “Smoke a Little Smoke,” “Love Your Love the Most,” and “Hell on the Heart.”
