Lyrics

Goin‘ To Texas
Copyright 1997 Virgil Brown

The diesel winds are blowin’
With the smell of 40-weight oil
And just a hint of antifreeze and steam
I’m stranded in this traffic jam with all the other cattle
In a concrete canyon cowboy’s worst dream
All these giant buildings tear at the sky
Like modern day Tyrannosaurus Rexs

(Chorus)
I’m goin’ to Texas
In Texas I’ll be free
There’s room for you and me out in Texas
I’m goin’ to Texas
In Texas I’ll be free
There’s room for you and me out in Texas

The porno malls and amusement halls
On a river of colored light
The walking wounded silently moving all alone
I’ve seen the urban strangers
Embrace the dirty night
Desperation‘s reasons unknown
I’m tired of bearing witness
I don’t wanna see no more
Of this big city battle of the sexes

(Chorus)

(Bridge)

Now I ain’t talkin’ ‘bout Dallas
I don’t mean San Antone’
And girl, there ain’t no use in
Showin’ up in Houston
If what we want is a quiet Place to call home
