Texas (i/ˈtɛksəs/) (Alibamu: Teksi ) is the second most populous and the second most extensive of the 50 United States, and the most extensive state of the 48 contiguous United States. The name, based on the Caddo word "Tejas" meaning "friends" or "allies", was applied by the Spanish to the Caddo themselves and to the region of their settlement in East Texas. Located in the South Central United States, Texas shares an international border with the Mexican states of Chihuahua, Coahuila, Nuevo León, and Tamaulipas to the south, and borders the US 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 25.7 million residents.
During the Spanish colonial rule, the area was officially known as the Nuevo Reino de Filipinas: La Provincia de Texas. Antonio Margil de Jesús was known to be the first person to use the name in a letter to the Viceroy of Mexico in July 20, 1716. The name was not popularly used in daily speech but often appeared in legal documents until the end of the 1800s.

You came down as if from Heaven
Laid a soft hand on me
I kept on walking and thinking
Where my life's gone, I should weep
Well I don't know where I've been going
I've never known the reason why
So listen to me, I'm scared to cry
The angel sat down at my table
I told her all my doubts and pain
She said there always is a time for love
That it would come to me again
Well, I don't know where I've been going
I've never known the reason why
So listen to me, I'm scared to cry
Well, I don't know where I've been going
I've never known the reason why
So listen to me, I'm scared to cry, yes, I am
So listen to me, I'm scared to cry
I don't know where I've been going
No and I'm scared to cry
Oh no, you gotta listen to me
Yeah, you gotta listen, listen to me
'Coz I'm scared to cry
