"Miles and Miles of Texas" is a song originally recorded by Jim McGraw And The Western Sundowners in 1961. It was used as the B-side of their single, "Crazy Dreams."[1]
The song is a ballad about a man who was born and raised in Louisiana but leaves home, crosses the Red River and explores Texas. He finds love in "Cowtown," becomes a rodeo cowboy, and decides to make the state his permanent home.
Asleep at the Wheel recorded "Miles and Miles of Texas" in 1976.[2] It was the second of three singles released from their 1976 LP, Wheelin' and Dealin'.
The song reached No. 38 on the U.S. Billboard Country chart during the winter of 1977.[3]
