Song Description

Raised and died in Texas

Lyrics

He came out of the womb with boots on
A two step straight to a man
Tommy's heart was tied up in Texas
But she left him with the ring in his hand
He took to flying finally touched down
In the cool Colorado snow
Met Helena looking like blue skies
Till he caught her with Romeo

He said I'm going home to Texas
I'm going back because
I've worn holes in my soles from the
Many loves not worth the chasing
Many aces not worth laying down
Tried to fly best that I could
I'm going home to Texas
Going home to Texas
Aye aye aye I'm going home

The pain hung on but not for too long
With a smile he pulled out the knife
In Abeline he met Angelina
She said Tommy start a new life
They had a son gave him their best
Yes he grew tall and fast as a weed
Tommy said I think I'm alive now
I've got a lone star queen

He said I'm staying here in Texas
I'm staying here because
I've worn holes in my soles from the
Many fights not worth the hurtin'
Many roads not worth rolling down
I'm feeling good the best that I could
I'm staying here in Texas
Holding up in Texas
Aye aye aye I'm staying here

One day Tommy was angry
A pain shot straight to his arm
Angelina was there in a panic
Tommy smiled with cowboy charm
He said you know we had a good life
Your the best thing that's happened to me
As she held him in her arms tremblin'
He said now I'll rest in peace

Because I'm going home to Texas
I'm laying down because
I've worn holes in my soles from
All the time I've been given
All the years that I been hanging on
I've given you the best of my love honey
I'm laying down Texas
Going home to Texas
Aye aye aye I'm going home

He came out of the womb with boots on
A two step straight to a man
Angelina lays down the flowers
By the stone where he lays in her land
