If you've got a road map of Texas
You can see that it's a wide open state
From Amarillo down to Balmorhea
You can bet that it's a honky-tonkin' place

They might like to rock 'n roll in Dallas
And disco down on Galveston Bay
But when God made those West Texas cowboys
He gave them the Pecos Promenade

Lead off with the Cotton-Eyed Joe
Buckin' wing, then heel and toe
Hold me close for the Pecos Promenade
Beer sign hangin' by the door
Sawdust on an old dance floor
Tip your hat for the Pecos Promenade

When the sun starts goin' down on the prairie
And the starlight falls on the sage
That's when a cowgirl needs a cowboy
To do the Pecos Promenade

Tonight's the first time I saw him
We can hear those twin fiddles play
Well Houston starts to feel like Lonestar heaven
As we dance the Pecos Promenade

Lead off with the Cotton-Eyed Joe
Buckin' wing, then heel and toe
Hold me close for the Pecos Promenade
Tip your hat for the Pecos Promenade

That's when a cowgirl needs a cowboy
To do the Pecos Promenade
