about

I remember cutting the saw over at Jacques' place Uptown. Poor old Sick was cramping up from the strain. Who knew the musical saw was so strenuous to operate? Texas still fascinates...

lyrics

lying here wasted with the cold running through me
throwing my past on the fire
shadows stretching their way to forever
the boys are about to retire
the smell of the diesel the feel of the damp
come to be my only friends
i'm holding steady but i ain't near ready to go back to texas again

sometimes it seems like a lifetime or two
since we wrote our names in the sky
drove all night with the moonlight upon us
made love while the mockingbirds cried
and how would i know that someday you'd go
just as easy as counting to ten
i'll love you forever, but i thought i'd never go back to texas again

texas again, where the wind doesn't see me
texas again, run through the same fire
texas again where i knew i was the same old liar
oh now go keep your coat
and let me be

i thought my rambling soon would run through me
somehow it never let go
one day i woke up on the dry side of life
knew i'd be always alone
next freight i knows heading to san antone
stop for a moment and then
she's pulling away i can wait one more day
to go back to texas again

texas again, where the wind doesn't see me
texas again, run through the same fire
texas again where i knew i was the same old liar
oh now go keep your coat
and let me be
