I been on the road now dang near all my life: An’ I do love to sing a song. I can say I’ve worked hard, put in my time: Now it’s time to go home. And catch up on my chores: Watch the sunset from my porch.
I’ll be somewhere down in Texas if you’re lookin’ for me, Drinkin’ in that great wide-open: soakin’ up the summer breeze. Kickin’ back an’ settled in with my family. I’ll be somewhere down in Texas if you’re lookin’ for me.
That’s where I got started, where I was born an’ bred: It’s the fire inside of me. I couldn’t have imagined this Texas highway led, Far beyond my wildest dreams. But I’ll turn out the lights tonight, An’ say goodnight, but not goodbye.
I’ll be somewhere down in Texas if you’re lookin’ for me, Drinkin’ in that great wide-open: soakin’ up the summer breeze. Kickin’ back an’ settled in with my family. I’ll be somewhere down in Texas if you’re lookin’ for me.
I made so many friends, Hope we meet someday again: Till then:
I’ll be somewhere down in Texas if you’re lookin’ for me, Drinkin’ in that great wide-open: soakin’ up the summer breeze. Kickin’ back an’ settled in with my family. I’ll be somewhere down in Texas if you’re lookin’ for me.
