Songs About Texas

I sing songs about Texas, I sing them often

As if she were some old lover I used to know

I wish I could follow them back to the homeland

Every time I hear one on my radioTwin fiddles playin' in my memory

My Daddy sang, "The wonders of old cow town"

Silver haired and he's still there, under a sky so warm and fair

And I tell you friends there's a song in every town, heyI still want to sing me one more song about old San Antone

Seemed like a dream now, it was so long ago

Jerry Jeff Walker can be just like

A coat from the cold, hey I'ma goin' on homeNothin' short of the Gospel hymns, I guess that's why

Folks keep writin' 'em when I die, I want to go there too

Some day I hope to walk along Heaven's street

And I'll still be lookin' for my taco meat

And I swear, I hear a steel guitar just risin' in the airI still want to sing me one more song about old San Antone

It seems like a dream now it was so long ago

And Robert Earl Keen, he can be just like

A coat from the cold, well, I'ma goin' on homeWhen the night is real, real still, swear I could hear a whippoorwill

She knows there's music in the dirt down there

Hill country rain, man it's a cleansing' thing and all I have to do see one

Sittin' in a shallow creek got nothin' to do, got nothin' to doSo sing me one more song about old San Antone

It seems like a dream now it was so long ago

Jerry Jeff Walker can be just like a coat from the coldI still want to sing me one more song about those dusty plains

The honky tonk angels, and their lonely beehive pain

Wish I was stowed away on some fast movin' train going home

Yeah, I'm going home, yeah
