Welcome to the roast my friend.
Welcome to the heat.
Welcome to Texas and these dry and dusty streets.
Welcome to our howdys! Hey! and y’all,
You won’t be needin’ that coat. You won’t need much at all.
‘Cause It’s a little bit toasty. It’s a little bit toasty, it’s a little bit hot!
It’s a little bit hot!
It’s a little bit toasty. It’s a little bit toasty, it’s a little bit hot!
It’s a little bit hot!
Welcome to this sun that burns the clouds away.
Welcome to this wind that blows hot everyday.
Welcome to the land of outlaws with big guns, they say…
…we’re all crazy. I say it’s just the sun.
Chorus
Welcome to the big sky that rarely knows a cloud
Welcome to Texas and a people kinda’ proud.
Welcome to our quick drawl, our howdy hey y’all!
We been living out here, with the sun so near but we’re still standing tall.
Welcome to us cowboys who like it kinda’ loud.
Welcome to our yes maam’, yes sir and this here crowd.
We’ve learned to fish or cut bait ’cause we can’t wait, this sun could kill us all.
Chorus out.
