"There's a Girl in Texas" is a debut song co-written and recorded by American country music artist Trace Adkins. It was released in April 1996 as his debut single, and was served as the lead-off single from his debut album Dreamin' Out Loud. The song peaked at No. 20 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart in August 1996. [1]
The song became a popular song particularly associated with Texas, and its popularity continued into the 20th century. In 1933, Gene Autry and Jimmie Long made it into a cowboy song with some revisions of the lyrics, for example, replacing "no other darkey knows her, no darkey only me" with "no other fellow knows her, nobody else but me."
Thom Owens of AllMusic commended Adkins' "powerhouse" voice and citing "There's a Girl in Texas" as one of the strongest-written songs on the album. His review criticized the production as being too polished. [1]
