Texas Is The Last Stop

(アルバム： The Sonic Ranch - 2021)

Well I'll tell you folks one thing
Hope you'll understand
I travelled from the far side to the near side of this land
And I seen it all roll out from my windshield and then
Said I'm going back to Texas as fast as I can

Some say home is where the heart is
It ain't a piece o' land
I say home's the heart of Texas
Just south of Austin
I'll be driving that old wreck
Doing a hundred and eleven
Because Texas is the last stop before I get to heaven

Well I been up around the great lakes
And over to New England
I didn't see too many cowboy hats
Didn't hear many thank you ma'ams
And I been up around the Northwest
Where those trees are big and tall
But it always made me so sad not to hear the folks say y'all

Some say home is where the heart is
It ain't a piece o' land
I say home's the heart of Texas
Just south of Austin
I'll be driving that old wreck
Doing a hundred and eleven
Because Texas is the last stop before I get to heaven

Oooweeee smell that mesquite my darling
Oooweeee smell that bar-b-que
Those cottonwood trees
And those cicadas singing
They're all waiting just to greet you

Well I've even been to Paris
And although it was great
If I'm going back to Paris it's the one in the lone star state
'Cause I'd only miss those honky tonks
Friendly folks and women
Yeah I'm going back to Texas as fast as I can

Some say home is where the heart is
It ain't a piece o' land
I say home's the heart of Texas
Just south of Austin
I'll be driving that old wreck
Doing a hundred and eleven
Because Texas is the last stop before I get to heaven

Texas is the last stop before I get to heaven
