Lyrics
LONG WAY FROM LAS CRUCES
I left Dona Ana county when i turned 18
Headed out to TX tried to start my own thing
I wound up in Waco got a weekly at the Continental Cowboy...yeah boy
We played 4 hr sets beer was 4 for a dollar
Drop ceilings cigarettes pretty girls man we were hotter
Than a Elm Mott pawn shop pistol and twice as loud
Livin’ off a tip jar just tyrin to figure it out
I’VE COME A LONG WAY...FROM LAS CRUCES
I CAN’T BELIEVE I STILL GET TO DO THIS
NEW MEXICO RAISED ME
TEXAS MADE ME
TENNESSEE AND ME NEVER COULD QUITE FIGURE IT OUT
I’M A LONG WAY FROM LAS CRUCES…AND I’VE COME TOO FAR TO TURN BACK NOW
So i headed down to Austin left the 254
Set up at Cedar Creek Adam O hit record
Made a TX Country Record that the radio played…thank you thank you djs
In ATX I fell in with some different kinda cats
Took a little left turn, wore a funky kinda hat
Drove to NYC with a three piece and signed me a bad deal...it was gettin’ real
Ran out of gas, outta cash, pushing thirty feeling scared
Me and Kristi moved to TN to try our luck there
It’s where I finally figured out how to write a good country song...I’d been doin’ it wrong
Nashville what a thrill signed me another deal
Me and TDub made some records and I still
Sing bout white vans, taco stands, baby come on...
It was fun for a while but it never really felt like home
I’VE COME A LONG WAY...FROM LAS CRUCES
I CAN’T BELIEVE I STILL GET TO DO THIS
NEW MEXICO RAISED ME
TEXAS MADE ME
TENNESSEE AND ME NEVER COULD QUITE FIGURE IT OUT
I’M A LONG WAY FROM LAS CRUCES…AND I’VE COME TOO FAR TO TURN BACK NOW
Now I got some famous friends, I got some friends that write hits
And I’m still close with dudes i went to high school with
And I’m Topo Chico Cowboy, me ‘ol Drew…it’s true
Made a new record, wanna hear it? hear it goes
I got RP, Jimmy, JB and Brady O
Doing all we can keep this train moving down the line
It never goes like you think, but all in all it’s been a pretty good ride…
I’VE COME A LONG WAY...FROM LAS CRUCES
I CAN’T BELIEVE I STILL GET TO DO THIS
NEW MEXICO RAISED ME
TEXAS MADE ME
TENNESSEE AND ME NEVER COULD QUITE FIGURE IT OUT
I’M A LONG WAY FROM LAS CRUCES…AND I’VE COME TOO FAR TO TURN BACK NOW
