Texas Was Clean

Texas was clean, just an oilman's dream
A slate that I'd never written on
Dust blowing' round a lonely town
Boots on the board of a barn

As far from the south without getting out
The corner of my heart

All this born in the powder and the horn
The feather on the gridded green
The brown and the white, the rich and the poor
Taking the hit for the team

And the horse they rode was a merry soul
Flickering on my bed post at night

Hey I wanna go, Hey I wanna go, Hey I wanna go (It's just another place to go)
I wanna go there (It's just another place to go)
And hey I wanna go, Hey I wanna go, Hey I wanna go (It's just another place to go)
I wanna go there (It's just another place to go)
And the horse they rode was a merry soul

I knew you for a moment or two
In a life that seems to just expand

In the Austin night under vapor lights
You laughed at me then you took me in

On the day of the dead in a circle we said
The names oh, in the corner of our hearts
Hey I wanna go, Hey I wanna go, Hey I wanna go (It's just another place to go)
I wanna go there (It's just another place to go)
And hey I wanna go, Hey I wanna go, Hey I wanna go (It's just another place to go)
I wanna go there (It's just another place to go)
I wanna go there and
Hey I wanna go, Hey I wanna go, Hey I wanna go (It's just another place to go)
I wanna go there (It's just another place to go)
As far from the south without getting out
