I think they should all be the national anthem, using one that suits the occasion's personality. Or, use them all during an event, ie, at a baseball game play a different Texas national anthem tune between innings. We could just go crazy at a basketball game, playing short versions of a multitude of Texas national anthems during team timeouts.

How about the original draft of "The Eyes of Texas?"

Quote:
They watch above you all the day,
The bright blue eyes of Texas.
At midnight they’re with you all the way,
The sleepless eyes of Texas.

The Eyes of Texas are upon you,
All the livelong day.
The eyes of Texas are upon you,
They’re with you all the way.
They watch you through the peaceful night,
They watch you in the early dawn,
When from the eastern skies the high light
Tells that the night is gone.

Sing me a song of Texas,
And Texas’ myriad eyes
Countless as the bright stars
That fill the midnight skies.

Vandyke brown, vermillion,
Sepia, Prussian blue,
Ivory black and crimson lac,
And eyes of every hue.
Longhorn Band / University of Texas at Austin

The thread is for Texas.....as is this category of the forum. Most states have their own anthem/state song, state tree, state bird, state flower, state fire liquid.......of course we all love the U.S.; afterall, we share the same flag colors!!
