kate baldwin feat. brian d'arcy james - your texas lyrics
somebody else may spend her life
in search of the perfect b-tter knife
to pair with the proper fork and proper spoon
don’t laugh, but i’d rather read rousseau.
and emerson, carlyle, and th-r-au;
right here in my father’s chair i’ve read
the sort of ideas that cloud my head with daydreams
big and small
i have daydreams,
don’t we all?
when i read th-r-au, i smiled
he said “all good things are free and wild”
your texas
now, i don’t know
your texas
but even so,
i imagine that a man can be
can be
more independent,
wild and free
in texas
the last frontier is texas
and unlike here
there’s a great unknown
just waiting there
for those who wish to
dream and dare
your texas
(bick:) big as all new england
plus new jersey and new york,
pennsylvania, ohio—
(leslie:) your texas…
(bick:) mountain ranges, sweeping beaches
canyons, rivers, planes—
and century plants
that blossom
ev’ry twenty years
(leslie:) imagine
(bick:)imagine
(leslie:)imagine:
blossoming at forty
blossoming at sixty
blossoming at eighty
that’s how i want to live…
(leslie -spoken) “imagine a place in the wilderness, unspoiled by politics, where people are truly equal.”
(leslie -sung): these kinds of ideas,
don’t laugh, they give me
daydreams
wild and new.
i’ll have daydreams
thanks to you
and tonight i’ll dream
some more
of a place i’ve never
been before:
reata
your country,
your texas…
somebody else may spend her life
in search of the perfect
b-tter knife
not i
not i
