Songs About Texas lyricsby Pat Green
I sing songs about Texas
Sing them often as if she were some old lover I used to know wish I could follow them back to the homeland every time, I hear one on my radio. I got twin fiddles playing 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 I tell you friends there's a song in every town. I said won't you sing me one more song about old San Antone, seems like a dream now it was so long ago, Jerry Jeff Walker can be like a coat from the cold, hey I'ma goin home Nothing short of the gospel hymns, I guess that's why folks keep writing 'um when I die, I want to go there too, some day I hope to walk along heavens street, I'll still be looking for my taco meat and I swear I hear a steel guitar rising in the air. I said won't you sing me one more song about old San Antone, seems like a dream now it was so long ago, ol Guy Clark can be just like a coat from the cold, hey I'ma goin home When the night is real real still, swear I can hear a wipporwill she knows there's music in the dirt down there it's a hill country rain is a cleansing thing and all I have to do is see one, sittin in a shallow creek I got nothing to do, got nothin to do I said won't you sing me one more song about old San Antone, seems like a dream now it was so long ago, Jerry Jeff Walker can be just like a coat from the cold, Yeah I said won'tcha sing me one more song about those dusty plains, them honky tonk angels, and their lonely bee hive pain, wish I stowed away on some fast moving train going home, I'ma goin on home. |
