Texas Kind of Way

Colorado was too cold

The snow gets the best of me

'Cause laying there beside the fireplace

Looks like where you oughta be

And Oklahoma's too rich

With American history

It's kind of funny how it reminds me

Of all those books you used 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 at Matagorda Bay

Up on sixth street in Austin

At the rodeo in Santa Fe

Might as well just lock me up in Huntsville

If your old memory is 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

But it's a city that never sleeps

Detroit can sure build me a fast car

Trying to outrun your memory

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 be in Tennessee

And I keep seeing you in Houston

Down at Matagorda Bay

And up on sixth street in Austin

At the rodeo in Santa Fe

Might as well just lock me up in Huntsville

If your memory's 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 at Matagorda Bay

And up on sixth street in Austin

At the rodeo in Santa Fe

Might as well just lock me up in Huntsville

If your memory's 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
