Lyrics

You and Texas

Verse 1
I left you
Cause you left me
Always hanging on
To what used to be
I've loved you forever
But to tell the truth
You always found a way
To break my heart in two

So I left Texas
Cause Texas left me
Chained to a feeling
That I could never set free

Chorus
You and Texas
Are a lot alike
Big and bold and oh so cold at night
You and Texas
Left a wide open space in my heart
Cause I found out too late
You and Texas were lone star states

Verse 3
Somewhere between Dallas
And Abilene
I pulled off the road
And threw away those old dreams
I grabbed a map
And found the fastest route
Straight out of Texas
And back to Baton Rouge

And as I drove away
I saw a lone star in the sky
And I smiled to myself
And waved goodbye

Chorus

Tag
Cause I found out too late
You and Texas were lone star states
