Back to Texas

I need some real air to breathe

I hate the way they look at me

A part of me is so far away

And I miss that Southern sky

Love took me where you wanted to go

Down a real bad stretch of road

You leave me here most every night

I can't stand this cold

You can have these memories

You can try to take me down

You can stay here in hell

As for me, I'm going back to Texas

Give me a one-light town

Put me in a front porch swing

Give me a Gold Star in that Texas bar

That's the way it should be

Lord knows how you're gonna end

And I won't let you pull me in

I've spent too long away from what I know

You can have these memories

You can try to take me down

You can stay here in hell

As for me, I'm going back to Texas

I'm going back to Texas

Take me home

I'm going home, I'm going home
