This song is dedicated to all the goodhearted, decent, honest and hardworking people of The Texas Panhandle, The Texas South Plains and Eastern New Mexico. The Llano Estacado is the 2nd Largest Mesa in North America, covering over 500,000 square miles. From the Spanish, it Means "Staked Plain". In 1541, the Spanish explorer Francisco Vázquez de Coronado, in a letter to the king of Spain, became the first man to describe the vast Llano Estacado. "I reached some plains so vast, that I did not find their limit anywhere I went, although I traveled over them for more than 300 leagues ... with no more landmarks than if we had been swallowed up by the sea .... There was not a stone, nor bit of rising ground, nor a tree, nor a shrub, nor anything to go by." It's my home... up on the Llano Estacado.
