Sweet Mother Texas

The sky busted wide open

In the early morning for the dawn

And the raindrops on the window pane

Reminded me of nights back home

It's funny how a memory

Sometimes can cut you to the bone

Hanging on

Hanging on

The town of Santa Fe

Had a smell of wood smoke in the air

She lived by herself

Sold the paintings on the square

We shared the nights together

Until the feeling was gone

Hanging on

Hanging on

Two people come together

Knowing what they want from the start

They get their buddies greetin'

To keep their distances with their hearts

But a heart that contented

Sometimes can turn into stone

Hanging on

Just hanging on

A man needs a woman

In more ways than he could ever know

But sometimes he takes it lightly

Lets the fire burn down too low

And when he goes to the banker chances

He finds that he's overdraw

Hanging on

Hanging on

Hanging on

Just hanging on
