New Boston, Texas
(Written by Yolanda Harper)

Now don't cha blink while traveling I-30
You might miss the Texas trinity
New Boston, Old Boston and Boston
We call it, "Good old NB"

Not much to look at but plenty to see
Take a ride if you dare, come go with me to

N.B., New Boston, Texas
N.B., Texas trinity
N.B., New Boston, Texas
Take a ride, come go with me

Now for a county that s'posed to be dry
Uncle Joe stays mighty darn wet
‘T’ain't no gamblin' going on 'round here
How much you wanna bet

Grandma's full of wisdom and ready to pray
After busting hell wide open back in her day

N.B., New Boston, Texas
N.B., Texas trinity
N.B., New Boston, Texas
Take a ride, come go with me

You know what Daddy's smoking on that grill
Memphis and St Louis can’t beat
Mama's making tater salad and slaw
'Cause real men grill nothing but meat

Grandma's frying fish, chicken, okra & pies
Grandpa's telling stories that Grandma calls lies

N.B., New Boston, Texas
N.B., Texas trinity
N.B., New Boston, Texas
Take a ride, come go with me

A place where Lions tackle Pirates and Tigers
And call “FOUL” on Hornets and Hogs
Then run off and wed or make babies
With Dragons, Hawks, Bears and Bull Dogs

First game, first dance, first date, first kiss
So many lifelong friends that I miss

N.B., New Boston, Texas
N.B., Texas trinity
N.B., New Boston, Texas
Take a ride, come go with me

Not much to look at, but plenty to see
Take a ride if you dare, come home with me
