songs about texas

i sing songs about texas

i sing them often as if she was some old lover i used to know

i wish i could follow them back to the homeland everytime

i hear one on my radio

twin fiddles playing in my memory

my daddy sang the wonders of old cowtown

silver haired and he's still there under a sky so warm and fair

i'll tell you friends there's a song in every town

so won't you sing me one more song about ol' san antone

it seems like a dream now it was so long ago

and jerry jeff walker can be just like a coat from the cold

i'm going on home

there's nothing short of the gospel hymns

i guess that why folks keep writin' them when i die i wanna go there too

some day i hope to walk along heaven street

and i'll still be lookin' for my taco meat

and swear i hear steel guitars rising in the air

so won't you sing me one more song about ol' san antone

it seems like a dream now it was so long ago

and robert earl keen he can be just like a coat from the cold

i'm going on home

when the night is real real still i swear i can hear a wipporwill

she knows there's music in the dirt down there

hill country rain its a cleansing thing

and all i have to do is see one and i'm sittin' in a shallow creek

ain't got nothing to do ain't got nothing to do

so won't you sing me one more song about ol' san antone

it seems like a dream now it was so long ago

and ol' guy clark he can be just like a coat from the cold

i'm going on home
