New Song on JUNE 17th… “TEXAS”

Posted by jillandkate

Some of you guys have been asking us to play “Texas” so….here it is!

j&k

TEXAS

Everything’s bigger

Everything’s better

Everything’s fine in Texas

So send me a postcard

Write me a letter

Drop me a line

From Texas

Maybe down in Dallas

Or Austin or San Antonio

Texas is the best place you can go

When I’m feeling restless

I call my friends in Texas

You know they’re the best a girl can get

They’re the best a girl can get

And when I’m feeling restless

I call my friends in Texas

Cause you know they’re the best a girl can get

They’re the best a girl can get

And they understand

How to make me smile

How to make me laugh

How to put me back on my feet again

Even when I’m far

I’m feeling their big hearts

Feeling their love no matter where I am

Down from Dallas

And to Austin and San Antonio

Texas is the best place you can go

When I’m feeling restless

I call my friends in Texas

You know they’re the best a girl can get

They’re the best a girl can get

And when I’m feeling restless

I call my friends in Texas

Cause you know they’re the best a girl can get

They’re the best a girl can get

And it’s true

Everything’s bigger, everything’s better

Everything’s fine in Texas

You know when I’m feeling low

You know when I’m feeling low

When I’m feeling restless

I call my friends in Texas

You know they’re the best a girl can get

They’re the best a girl can get

And when I’m feeling restless

I call my friends in Texas

Cause you know they’re the best a girl can get

They’re the best a girl can get

    Wow! I was just staring at the screen and it freaked my freak! I get two new songs for the price of one now! Sweeeet! Feedback to come. Love the Kong pics! It’s on the top of my must see list. Looks beautiful…through the fog. =) Glad y’all are home safe.

    Thank you….more than words can say. I am letting all my girls in Texas know about this song as soon as I finish saying, thank you…again.

    -E :D

    p.s. — I heard a mention of maybe, possibly a live J&K show? I hear NYC audiences are stellar.

    Loves it! Although I found I ended up singing the chorus cause it’s uber catchy…to which my friend was like “but you don’t have any friends in texas!” I was like ah hush! hehe

    Wow, what a cool coincidence! Earlier today, I was thinking that it would be neat if some time y’all took requests for the Sot17th, and “Texas” happened to be one of my top picks! :) I didn’t even have to ask, and it was delivered. Sweet! :D

    Thanks for another great song. I’m sure Kelly would be quite fond of this one too!

      Hey Kris – if Kate would stop spitting on Jill then maybe Jill wouldn’t have to keep trying to impale Kate with her guitar. Just sayin’. :) :) :)

    Haha, *Sorry* I was compelled to write that; it wasn’t even voluntary. Maybe it was the tambourines that did it. Anyway, that RAWKED and I hope you play live again sometime. Woohoo to JillandKate playing live! Cuz that’d be awesome.

    PS, I’ve been keepin up with your other performances thanks to youtube and you guys sound amazing on the new songs!!! I wouldn’t say it if it wasn’t true. So props to you both. ( :

    It was my birthday gift, that day (06/17) was my b’day :) wohoo
    thankyou for the gift, I love it, haha
    great song! All I ever want is to go to Texas (I love Texas style), or any other place in States.
    You know, Texas seems like my state.
    “Even when I’m far
    I’m feeling their big hearts”
    and it seems like the brazilians
    we’re cool people :) we’re texans!

    Love you girls! Love the HK pics.
