lyrics

Well a car full of cowboys finds its way home
And the ranches close at five o clock and turn into rodeos

And that Texas sun ain’t no bigger than the Mississippi moon
That shined on us when we were kids
Lord its still shinin on you

Well I’m sweating out the liquor that I’m too afraid to drink
Austin’s in my sunset now I’ll be there by morning
And the bullets find their brothers hidden deep in hearts of gold
The darlings find their lasso men just saddled up at home

The desert snakes form a noose around the outlaw’s throat
And those horses have been dead for years they got their backs broke
And that July rain is just a temporary tease
I’ve melted it down to inches now in the San Marcos heat

And sometimes you just need a pretty girl to call your name
Sometimes it’ll do to get caught by that late evening train
Well that ruby romance it don’t shine like I thought it would
No she don’t kiss the boys no more
she just sweats em good

The insects cry at nighttime here and I’m coming home
My mother says she misses me and that my sister is all alone
So I’m singin whoa whoa whoa
I’m comin back home
