That Girl In Texas

(Album: It All Happened In A Honky Tonk - 2013)

I woke up this morning not feeling right
It wasn't the beer that I drank last night
It's the state I'm in
I just know I'm not where I'm meant to be
I heard a southern wind calling out to me
"Go back home again!"
Now I'm standing at the lonely end of the path I chose
And I can't stop thinking about the things I miss the most

Might be those Saturday nights and the honky tonks and the rodeos
Or the way the sun sets in the hills of San Antonio
Might be the dust from my boots
The miles of fence line
That old Rio Grande or the wide open sky
But my best guess is it's that girl in Texas

I spend all day packing up my truck
My boss forgot to wish me luck when I said "So long"
It's high time I undo my mistake
So I'll drive all night down that interstate
Till I'm all the way gone
I know deep down in my heart it's what I've gotta do
And if anyone ask me what I'm most looking forward to
Yeah!

Might be those Saturday nights and the honky tonks and the rodeos
Or the way the sun sets in the hills of San Antonio
Might be the dust from my boots
The miles of fence line
That old Rio Grande or the wide open sky
But my best guess is it's that girl in Texas

Yeah I came way to see her smile and face
And I couldn't tell you why I ever left that place

I miss those Saturday nights and the honky tonks and the rodeos
And the way the sun sets in the hills of San Antonio
Her beautiful smile, bright blue eyes
Holding her close in the moonlight
What I miss most is that girl in Texas
What I love most is that girl in Texas
That girl in Texas
