When the day breaks on Cedar Creek Lake

With the big shots in Big D

Like a mystery train or a magic trick

Or a map of the world on a guitar pick

The eyes of Texas are smiling on me

          C
Where the bluebonnets thrive on I-35

                        G
And the Guadalupe River flows

          G
Where the stars at night are a helluva sight

And the honky-tonks never close

         C
When the mornin' sunrise and I open my eyes
