Take Me Back To Texas

(アルバム： Everything's Gonna Be Alright - 2021)

If something should happen to me, heaven forbid
I'm only gonna make this one request
No matter how long it takes you, no matter how far
Promise me you'll grant my wish and cross your heart

When it comes to where I want my memory
There's only one place on earth I see

Promise me you'll take me back to Texas
And bury me beneath that old oak tree
On the bank beside the creek I used to fish in
And I can be beside the boy I used to be
Promise me you'll take me back to Texas
It's the only place I know I'll rest in peace

Now, don't you go worrying about me, don't trouble your soul
If something was wrong you'd be the first to know
No, you ain't gonna lose me baby as long as I breathe
Where you are is where I'm gonna be

But when the Lord decides that I'm ready
I just want you to make sure I get home

Promise me you'll take me back to Texas
And bury me beneath that old oak tree
On the bank beside the creek I used to dream on
And I can be beside the boy I used to be
Promise me you'll take me back to Texas
It's the only place I know I'll rest in peace

Heaven knows my soul belongs in Texas
It's the only place I know I'll rest in peace
