Lyrics

[ back ]

Texas

Got the news through aggravation
The last shot came from a crossbow
Lawyers ask for reparation
For a work they’d never known
And a song they’d never sung
Carolina’s looking sweeter
As springtime rolls across the mountains
Past bungalows the streets are fountains
People wishing on their souls
Rolling waters make me whole

July turned green to brown
But I never wanted to leave this town
Austin’s been a friend of mine
Texas we’ve had a time

Spent some time to count the reasons
Loss and pain, the changing seasons
But no one leaves an answer for you there
It’s just questions you never saw
No you never saw it coming

July turned green to brown
But I never wanted to leave this town
Austin’s been a friend of mine
Texas we’ve had a time

We don’t ever talk about it
But you know I can’t be without
Lost in the freedom, found in the song
You and me we stayed together
Through dry seasons and stormy weather
Won’t ever go wrong, just as long as you’re around

July turned green to brown
But I never wanted to leave this town
Austin’s been a friend of mine
Texas we’ve had a time

No you never saw it coming
