Ladybird sowed the seeds
Along the hills of emerald green
Up and down 290 
And every farm road in between
A million painted bonnets
In a rolling sea of blue
Of all those Texas flowers
Darlin I picked you

I picked you
To be the one to lay beside me every night
I picked you 
To help me teach our babies wrong from right
I picked you
Cuz frankly darling
no one else would do
There’s a million Texas flowers
But darlin I picked you

From the rolling hills in Brenham
To the shores at Canyon Lake
Wild flowers line the highways
Dirt roads and Interstates
They glisten in the sunlight
From the early morning dew
Of all those Texas flowers
Darlin I picked you

I picked you
To be the one to lay beside me late at night
I picked you 
To help me teach our babies wrong from right
I picked you
Cuz truely darling
no one else would do
There’s a million Texas flowers
But darlin I picked you

On the bayous down in Houston
And the walk in San Antoine
Sixth Street out in Austin
All the way to El Paso
A million lovely cowgirls
Alone and feeling blue
Of all those Texas flowers
Darlin I picked you

I picked you
To be the one to lay beside me every night
I picked you 
To help me teach our babies wrong from right
I picked you
Cuz no one else could 
Make my dreams come true
There’s a million Texas flowers
But for me there’s you 

For me there’s only you
Darlin I picked you
