pat green - songs about texas lyrics
i sing songs about texas
sing them often as if she were some old lover
i used to know
wish i could follow them back to the homeland every time, i hear one on my radio.
i got twin fiddles playing in my memory
my daddy sang the wonders of old cow town
silver haired and he’s still there
under a sky so warm and fair
i tell you friends there’s a song in every town.
i said won’t you sing me one more song
about old san antone,
seems like a dream now it was so long ago,
jerry jeff walker can be like a coat from the cold,
hey i’ma going home
nothing short of the gospel hymns,
i guess that’s why folks keep writing ‘um when i die,
i want to go there too, some day i hope to walk along heavens street,
i’ll still be looking for my taco meat
and i swear i hear a steel guitar rising in the air.
i said won’t you sing me one more song
about old san antone,
seems like a dream now it was so long ago,
ol’ guy clark can be just like a coat from the cold,
hey i’ma going home
when the night is real real still,
swear i can hear a whippoorwill
she knows there’s music in the dirt down there
it’s a hill country rain is a cleansing thing
and all i have to do is see one,
sitting in a shallow creek
i got nothing to do, got nothing to do
i said won’t you sing me one more song
about old san antone,
seems like a dream now it was so long ago,
jerry jeff walker can be just like a coat from the cold,
yeah i said won’t ya sing me one more song about those dusty plains,
them honky tonk angels, and their lonely bee hive pain,
wish i stowed away on some fast moving train going home, i’ma going on home.
