Somewhere Down in Texas

Jason Boland & the Stragglers

4

When I look south I see the storm clouds roll

On their way to Old Mexico

I don't wanna be alone

And the rays of light through my Shiner Boch bottle

Make me wanna turn the key and put down the throttle

Get lost down 35

When I get tied down by the ties that bind

Seems like I'm never gonna find the time

To do what I need.

That's to find me a place where I think

Talk about love, laugh, and drink.

And there's someone there who cares.

Chorus:

Cause no matter how big the storms

I know I can find me a place that's warm

The sun is shining somewhere in Texas

I hope it's shining on here

Somewhere done in Texas

In a place that big a man could get lost

Never mind the time forget about the cost

There's more important things

She's somewhere smiling north of San Antone

I've got her number but I stare at the phone

Cause I still want to believe

Chorus

To hell with horoscopes and empty dreams

To hell with Valentino and his cut off pair of jeans

Cause I know I can make it there

On a twelve pack and a prayer
