Chris Rea - "Texas"

Warm winds blowing
Heating blue sky
And a road that goes forever

Been thinking ’bout it lately
Been watching some tv
Been looking all around me
At what has come to be
Been talking to my neighbour
And he agrees with me
It’s all gone crazy

Well my wife returns from taking
My little girl to school
She’s got beads of perspiration
As she tries to keep her cool
She says that mess it don’t get no better
There’s gonna come a day
Someone’s gonna get killed out there
And I turn to her and say "Texas"
She says what?
I said "Texas"
She says what?
They’ve got big long road out there

Warm winds blowing
Heating blue sky
And a road that goes forever
I’m going to Texas

We got to get out of here
We got to get out of here

Well I got a little brother
Several meters high
Yea his built just like a quarterback
And he swears he’ll testify
He says he’s been to Texas
And that’s the only place to be
Big stakes, big girls, no trouble there
That’s the place for me

I’m going to Texas
I’m going to Texas
Watch me walking
Watch me walking

Luckenbach:

There only two things in life that make it worth livin'

That's guitars that tune good and firm feelin' women

I don't need my name in the marquis lights

I got my song and I got you with me tonight

Maybe it's time we got back to the basics of love

Chorus:

Let's go to Luckenbach Texas with Waylon and Willie and the boys

This successful life we're livin' got us fueding like the Hatfield and McCoys

Between Hank Williams pain songs, Newberry's train songs and blue eyes cryin' in the rain

Out in Luckenbach Texas ain't nobody feelin' no pain

So baby let's sell your diamond ring

Buy some boots and faded jeans and go away

This coat and tie is choking me

In your high socitey you cry all day

We've been so busy keepin' up with the Jones

Four car garage and we're still building on

Maby it's time we got back to the basics of love

Chorus:

Let's go to Luckenbach Texas with Waylon and Willie and the boys

This successful life we're livin' got us fueding like the Hatfield and McCoys

Between Hank Williams pain songs, Newberry's train songs and blue eyes cryin' in the rain

Out in Luckenbach Texas ain't nobody feelin' no pain

Let's go to Luckenbach Texas with Waylon and Willie and the boys

This successful life we're livin' got us fueding like the Hatfield and McCoys

Between Hank Williams pain songs, Newberry's train songs and blue eyes cryin' in the rain

Out in Luckenbach Texas ain't nobody feelin' no pain
