Lyrics
She Still Calls Texas Home
lyrics & melody by Anni Lichty & Lori Earles
There's a Lone Star sunset burning in her soul
She's a thousand miles from Abilene but she still calls Texas home
She misses her mama - she misses her daddy too
She misses Sharon and the crazy things that best friends do
I know she loves me - I know she loves the kids
But I don't know how to help her when she gets like this
After fifteen years from time to time the tears still flow
That's when I know she's got Texas on her mind
There's a Lone Star sunset burning in her soul
She's a thousand miles from Abilene but she still calls Texas home
It's worse in the wintertime - I know she hates the cold
And you've never felt a chill 'til you feel this wind blow
She tries to hide it - she says everything's alright
But it's hard to miss that lonesome distance in her eyes
After fifteen years from time to time the tears still flow
That's when I know she's got Texas on her mind
There's a Lone Star sunset burning in her soul
She's a thousand miles from Abilene but she still calls Texas home
She left it all - everyone she loved - everything she knew
She swears she'd do it all again
She left a Lone Star sunset for a life with me
She's here in Iowa - and it cuts me to the bone
But she still calls Texas home
