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
