West Texas Sun

I've been drivin' down this road too long

Feelin that west Texas sun

Burnin', it's burnin up my skin

Goin to open for that big name band

With this ole guitar and my two hands

Gotta make all them pretty girls smile

Once I've sung all my songs

To a crowd of two thousand

I gotta sleep in that ole midland motel

The guy in the room right next to me

Had a gram of mid grade weed

That's the only reason I could sleep in that roach coach

I've been drivin' down this road too long

Feelin that west Texas sun

Burnin', it's burnin up my skin

Goin to open for that big name band

With this ole guitar and my two hands

Gotta make all them pretty girls smile

That next day we went and played

At a bar across the interstate

That 2000 turned into 28

Empty bars and old guitars

Thank god I got a full tip jar

It's back on that road tomorrow morn

I've been drivin' down this road too long

Feelin that west Texas sun

Burnin', it's burnin up my skin

Goin to open for that big name band

With this ole guitar and my two hands

Gotta make all them pretty girls smile
