V1
Haven’t been to Texas in a long while,
Memories of good times keep on haunting me,
Fact is I should probably have stayed there,
But when I thought I wasn’t wanted,
Became a Texas refugee

Chorus
Miles and miles of nowhere to the next town on the map,
I’ll find the rundown ranch house where you hang your cowgirl hat,
A hundred in the shade, a shimmer in the distance,
I could go back to Texas if you did not resist it

V2
Thinking back, I gave up much too easy,
I walked away but kept you on my mind,
My pickup’s pointed east in Arizona
I don’t know if I’m wanted,
But I’m no refugee

Chorus 2
Miles and miles of nowhere to the next town on the map,
I know the rundown ranch house where you hang your cowgirl hat,
A hundred in the shade, a shimmer in the distance,
I’m going back to Texas, I hope you don’t resist it

Bridge
So I’ll be at your door by Tuesday morning,
Wondering if you’ll invite me in,
Might be a mistake, a Texas sized ache ,
They say you can’t go home again

Chorus 2
