Texas /ˈtɛksəs/ (Spanish: Texas or Tejas [ˈtexas]) is a state in the United States of America. It is the second most populous and second largest state by area in the US. Geographically located in the south central part of the country, Texas shares an international border with Mexico to the south and borders the states of New Mexico to the west, Oklahoma to the north, Arkansas to the northeast, and Louisiana to the east. Texas has an area of 268,820 square miles (696,200 km2) and a growing population of over 27.5 million residents (July 2015).
Houston is the largest city in Texas and the fourth-largest in the United States, while San Antonio is the second largest in the state and seventh largest in the United States. Dallas–Fort Worth and Greater Houston are the fourth and fifth largest United States metropolitan statistical areas, respectively. Other major cities include Austin (the state capital) and El Paso. Texas is nicknamed the Lone Star State to signify Texas as a former independent republic, and as a reminder of the state's struggle for independence from Mexico. The "Lone Star" can be found on the Texan state flag and on the Texan state seal. The origin of the state name, Texas, is from the word, "Tejas", which means 'friends' in the Caddo language.
Texas is a state of the United States of America, formerly the Republic of Texas.

Verse 1:
It’s never gonna matter how tough ya feel
When you come to our house feel the crowd for real
With the tower orange lighin’ up the sky
Got the eyes of Texas watchin’ Longhorns fly
From the first to the fourth, every down’s a highlight
From the kick to the click, playin’ Texas Fight
From the fans in the stands to the players on the field
They don’t come any tougher than a Texas steer
We’ve come to play the game, protect the Texas reign
The title’s ours to claim; respect the Longhorn name
Chorus:
Can you feel the rage; I’m like a bull in a cage
Can you feel the rage; I’m like a bull in a cage
When I see orange
I come to life
I bring the best of me all the time
We won’t give in; just watch us rise
Can’t top that Texas Longhorn pride
Verse 2:
It doesn’t even matter how hard ya try
When you step with ya best up to the line
Flat on your back and ya wonder why
You’re starin’ at the stars in the Texas sky
And it doesn’t even matta how hard ya hit
From the start to the finish, Longhorns never quit
Rage in a cage when we step on the field
It don’t come any tougher than a Texas steer
And its not the same; I’m gonna change ya game
I’m gonna bring ya pain; you won’t forget my name
Chorus
Can you feel the rage? (x4)
