LLEAVING TEXAS
Written by Barry P. Foley Copyright © 1994
Something was wrong when I got to Texas Cause it was raining all the time Life on the Gulf Coast, with them palm trees blowing Sure didn't match a dream of mine
Lots of cowboy hats, snakeskin boots and trucks everywhere But I couldn't fool the cowboys with my hillbilly twang, No matter what I'd wear
Life will never be the same, once you've lived in Texas No matter where you roam I’ll be back someday, back down to Corpus Christi Bay For three years it was my home
Two hours north is old San Antone, it's our favorite weekend retreat Two hours west, Nuevo Laredo, drive to get something to eat Old Mexico, yea ole Mexico; cabrieto, cerveasa and lime Vacation in Monterrey and Mexico City, you know we always had a great time
Life will never be the same, once you've lived in Texas No matter where you roam I'll be back someday, back down Corpus Christi way For three years it was my home And I’m going home
