Lyrics

I MISSED TEXAS

When I left New York City I thought walls and lights were pretty
And wide-open space, well, that was Central Park
And when I pulled into Austin I thought soon I would be leaving
But a little bit of Texas
Got stuck here in my heart.

That sky so big it scared me
But the people were so friendly
I kept putting off the date that I would depart
Heading for the West horizon
Never realizing
The longer that I stayed
The more leaving would be hard

When I finally hit the road on Highway 10
I said ?So long Austin. I won?t be back again.?

CHORUS
But I missed Texas every day and every night
I missed Texas even parts I didn?t like
I missed Texas. It was tearing me apart
Cuz a little bit of Texas was stuck here in my heart

So there I was in LA
And thinking I had it made
But every now and then, my dreams would fall apart
All the shoulders I could cry on
Were in a distant time zone
So I?d cry by myself, for the breaking of my heart.

Now I smile and shake my head
And say ?How silly can you get?
?What was I thinking
To be wandering that far??
And the man who walks beside me
I came home so he could find me
And we?re both firmly wed to the heart of the Lone Star

When I finally hit the road on Highway 10
I said, ?Make room Austin! I?m coming back again.?

CHO
TAG
Yes I missed Texas and I will never more depart
Cuz a little bit of Texas is stuck here in my heart.
