Hank Thompson – The Eyes Of Texas lyrics
I once did know a President,
Away down South, in Texas.
And, always, everywhere he went,
He saw the eyes of Texas
.
The Eyes of Texas are upon you,
All the live long day.
The Eyes of Texas are upon you,
You can not get away.
Do not think you can escape them
At night or early in the morn
The Eyes of Texas are upon you
'Till Gabriel blows his horn
.
Sing me a song of Prexy,
Of days long since gone by.
Again I seem to great him
And hear his kind reply
.
Smiles of gracious welcome
Before my memory rise,
Again I hear him say to me,
"Remember Texas' Eyes."

    I see nothing wrong with lyrics, the way it was used in the past is offensive. Really p c is getting out of control.I remember Red Foley singing this, it's just a fun song. Frankly, you couldn't pay me to live in Texas and the news lately just reinforces that sentiment.

    Kind of a dumb song but Ted Cruz really found out "you cannot get away" from the eyes of Texas
    Guess he should have read the words to the song before deserting Texas for Mexico!! Most people probably have never even heard of the song much less the lyrics that go with it.
