I Got You

(album: 40 East - 2022)

Some people put some backyard dirt in a bottle
Treat that yearbook like it's the bible
Keep a picture to remind 'em
What they're leaving behind and
Some people get tattoos of their home town zipcodes
Steal the street sign from a way out backroad
Anything to keep a memory
But I only took one thing

'Cause I got the Texas sky when I look in your eyes
It's like I never left
Like an old magnolia tree, old roots run deep
We could be anywhere
Chasing down the great wide open
Even when we don't know where we're going
Oh if home is where the heart is I can't lose
'Cause I got you

Anytime I miss those home game Friday nights
Or the summertime wind on a midnight drive
Baby all I gotta do
Is sliding closer to you

And I got the Texas sky when I look in your eyes
It's like I never left
Like an old magnolia tree, old roots run deep
We could be anywhere
Chasing down the great wide open
Even when we don't know where we're going
Oh if home is where the heart is I can't lose
'Cause I got you
You
Boy I got you

Turns out it doesn't matter where we are
The best part of home still holds my heart

'Cause I got the Texas sky when I look in your eyes
It's like I never left
Like an old magnolia tree, old roots run deep
We could be anywhere
Chasing down the great wide open
Even when we don't know where we're going
Oh if home is where the heart is I can't lose
'Cause I got you
You
Boy I got you
Oh I can't lose
As long, as long, as long as I got you
And I got you
