That Girl in Texas

I woke up this morning not feeling right

And it wasn't the beer that I drank last night

It's the state I'm in

I just know I'm not where I meant to be

I heard a southern wind callin' out to me

Go back home again

Now I'm standing at the lonely end of the path I chose

And I can't stop thinking about all the things I miss the most

Might be those Saturday nights in the honky tonks and the rodeos

Or the way the sun sets in the hills of San Antonio

Might be the dust on my boots, the miles of fenced land

That ol' Rio Grande or the wide open sky

But my best guess is

It's that girl in Texas

I spent all day packin' up my truck

My boss forgot to wish me luck

When I said, so long

It's high time, I'm due, my mistake

So I drive all night down that interstate

Till I'm all the way gone

I know deep down in my heart it's what I've gotta do

And if anyone asked me what I'm most lookin' forward to

Yeah, might be those Saturday nights in the honky tonks and the rodeos

Or the way the sun sets in the hills of San Antonio

Might be the dust on my boots, the miles of fenced land

That ol' Rio Grande or the wide open sky

But my best guess is

It's that girl in Texas

And I can't wait to see her smilin' face

And I couldn't tell you why I ever left that place

I miss those Saturday nights in the honky tonks and the rodeos

And the way the sun sets in the hills of San Antonio

Her beautiful smile, bright blue eyes

Holding her close, in the moonlight

What I miss most is

That girl in Texas

What I love most is

That girl in Texas

That girl in Texas
