"Songs About Texas"
by: Walt Wilkins
Performed by: Pat Green, Chris Wall, Cory Morrow
I sing songs about Texas
Sing them often as if she was some old lover I used to know
Wish I could follow them back to the homeland every time
I hear one on my radio
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 friend there's a song in every town
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'm goin' home
Nothing short of the gospel hymns
I guess that's why folks keep writing 'em
And when I die, I want to go there too
Someday 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
Sing me one more song about old San Antone
Seems like a dream now it was so long ago
Ol' Guy Clark he can be just like a coat from the cold
I'm goin' home
When 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 is a cleansing thing
All I have to do is see one
And I'll be sitting in a shallow creek with nothing to do
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
I'm goin' home
Sing me one more song about those dusty plains
Them honky tonk angels and their lonely bee hive pain
Wish I was stowed away on some fast moving train, going home
