"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

Adri,
I absolutly love this song!!! My cousin goes to school in Cali but she grew up here in tx (San Antonio to be exact) and she popped in the Pat Green CD to this song.......she called me sobbing saying how much she missed home. I will probably go to law school somewhere outside Texas after i get my BA and i'm pretty sure i will hear that song and cry too.
