After fighting with Mexico, Texas became independent its own republic and their flag at the time was all blue with a white star. The state flag now pays tribute to that.
@saremile I can see why it would get stuck in someone's head, as it's a catchy tune with the way Maggie sings it and the melody. It's also got that 'live free and wild' thing going on with it and folks love that.
I always heard it represented the independent spirit of Texas and Texans but I copied this from Google... The nickname "The Lone Star State" comes from the single golden star on the 1836 flag of the Republic of Texas. The star represents Texas's independence from Mexico and the state's proud, independent spirit.

This is the first I’ve heard of Maggie Antone. That’s a really well written song. The lyrics are smart and witty. Thanks for this one.

This has been in the top ten of the Texas Playlist on the Radio...and it gets stuck in my head occasionally.
