Texas Kind of Way

Colorado is too cold

The snow gets the best of me

Just laying there beside the fire place

Looks like where you oughta be

And Oklahoma is too rich

With American history

It's kind funny how it reminds me

Of all those books you use to read

And if I stay gone much longer

I might really go insane

'Cause no matter where I go

Well I'll just be missing you

In a Texas kind of way

And I keep seeing you in Houston

Down in Matagorda Bay

And up on 6th street in Austin

At the rodeo in Santa Fe

Might as well just lock me up in Huntsville

If your memories here to stay

'Cause no matter where I go

Well I'll just be missing you

In a Texas kind of way

And New York's got all them lights

Well it's the city that never sleeps

Detroit can sure build me a fast car

To try and outrun your memories

Montana skies go on for miles

Like the love you said you had for me

But if I keep writing all these sad songs

Might as well just stay in Tenessee

And I keep seeing you in Houston

Down in Matagorda Bay

And up on 6th street in Austin

At the rodeo in Santa Fe

Might as well just lock me up in Huntsville

If your memories here to stay

'Cause no matter where I go

Well I'll just be missing you

In a Texas kind of way

Here we go

And I keep seeing you in Houston

Down in Matagorda Bay

And up on 6th street in Austin

At the rodeo in Santa Fe

Might as well just lock me up in Huntsville

If your memories here to stay

'Cause no matter where I go

Well I'll just be missing you in a Texas kind of way

Oh no matter where I go

Well I'll just be missing you in a Texas kind of way
