Songs About Texas

I sing songs about Texas
 I sing them often as if she was some old lover I used to know
 I wish I could follow them back to the homeland everytime
 I hear one on my radio
 Twin fiddles playing in my memory
 My daddy sang the wonders of old Cowtown
 Silver haired and he's still there under a sky so warm and fair
 I'll tell you friends there's a song in every town
 So won't you sing me one more song about ol' San Antone
 It seems like a dream now it was so long ago
 And Jerry Jeff Walker can be just like a coat from the cold
 I'm going on home
 There's nothing short of the gospel hymns
 I guess that why folks keep writin' them when I die I wanna go there too
 Some day I hope to walk along heaven street
 And I'll still be lookin' for my taco meat
 And swear I hear steel guitars rising in the air
 So won't you sing me one more song about ol' San Antone
 It seems like a dream now it was so long ago
 And Robert Earl Keen he can be just like a coat from the cold
 I'm going on home
 When the night is real real still I swear I can hear a wipporwill
 She knows there's music in the dirt down there
 Hill country rain its a cleansing thing
 And all I have to do is see one and i'm sittin' in a shallow creek
 Ain't got nothing to do ain't got nothing to do
 So won't you sing me one more song about ol' San Antone
 It seems like a dream now it was so long ago
 And ol' Guy Clark he can be just like a coat from the cold
 I'm going on home
