Hill Country Nights

The St. Mary's Strip it broke my heart

Sold my soul at a dive bar

Now I don't go back

But part of me never left

Deep Ellum damn near swallowed me

Thought it was all I would need

But it left me behind

Those streets forgot my name

Can you take me back to those Hill Country nights

Where the songwriters sing

And the music's alive

Fell in love in a dance hall in Gruene

Let that river water baptize me

And I knew that night

That German town would always be home

Found my voice singing over a train

In a Warehouse where all of the best played

When that building shakes

I feel it in my bones

Can you take me back to those Hill Country nights

Where the songwriters sing

And the music's alive

Can you take me back to those Hill Country nights

Where the songwriters sing

And the music's alive
