X At The End Of Tex (Larry W. Jones 03/14/2007) (song#4517)

Well, I was travelin' in another state
When a man asked me where I was from
As to why he inquired, I can't relate
But I replied to him, now listen son

I put my X at the end of Tex in the middle of Texas
Somewhere around old San Antone
I put my X at the end of Tex in the middle of Texas
But anywhere in Texas is my home

But he said to me, I just don't see
How an X can be in two places
At one and the same time
And how can you put an X with the same old X
And still make it rhyme
That's got to be a dictionary crime

Written on my heart is a big 'ol chart
It's a Texas map that only I can see
And on that chart is a big 'ol dart
Where X marks the spot in Texas for me
So I drew him a map, put it in his lap so he could see
That the X at the end of Tex
Is the same X that's in the middle of Texas, yes siree

I put my X at the end of Tex in the middle of Texas
Somewhere around old San Antone
I put my X at the end of Tex in the middle of Texas
But anywhere in Texas is my home
X marks the spot in Texas for me
Yes siree!
