  1. Down In Texas

From the recording Wrong Way

Lyrics

VERSE
Not a word did she say, but I knew it right away
The thrill was gone; she left me standin’ alone
Peelin’ labels from bottles; pushin’ hard on the throttle
Goin’ crazy all the time; doin’ time in my mind

PRE-CHORUS
Then it hit me like a bolt from the blue
What I’ve always heard must be true
If you’ve got to be down, at least be down in Texas

CHORUS
If you’ve got to be down, at least be down in Texas
When you think you’re gonna drown, head on down to Texas
Where every single day, the girls come out to play
So if you just must be down, at least be down in Texas

VERSE
So I shipped my stuff, got it ridin’ on the bus
And now I’m headin’ through the rain to get a ticket on the plane
Feelin’ fine, don’t you know; it’s goodbye to the snow
Everybody watch and see and say hello to the brand-new me

Repeat CHORUS/BRIDGE
Man, I didn’t even make it to Love Field
Before I fell in love; we were sittin’ in the exit row

SOLO/Repeat CHORUS/TAG
Where every single day, the girls come out to play
So if you just must be down, at least be down in Texas
