Originally written for hard working Texans that work abroad, the song also reaches out to millions of northerners that relocated to Texas because of their job! Hence the hook: "Texan By Trade" "Texan by Trade" has played at half time at Reliant Stadium. It was pitched to the Houston Texans when they decided on their name. In their response letter, it was clear that the NFL would OWN the entire song along with all rights to the song. I said "no thanks, mama didn't raise no fool" So, here we are 15 years later with these things called MP3 files! The song is about tradition, hard work, family, pride, faith and helping the hurtin' man. Listen and enjoy. T Bar Music. It even comes with a "Drink responsibly" PSA for Heaven's sake. Somebody call Lone Star Beer!!
