[Verse 1]
San Antonio, Texas
Is the place where I was born
I went back there a couple of weeks ago
To reminisce with my old friends
And I heard some real good country music
And fell in love with a rodeo man
His eyes were bluer than a misty morning
I think I'm going back again
[Chorus]
Take me there, Bandera Highway
To the places where I grew
'Neath the mesquite trees
And the warm summer breeze
You gotta savor all your childhood memories
Memories
[Verse 2]
Driving slow with the window down
By the river, I could see
The déjà vu was knocking at my door
Something here remembers me
That I been a long, long way from yesterday
So far away, I couldn't see
And somehow lately, I decided I
Would look up the page of history
So there I went
[Chorus]
Take me there, Bandera Highway
To the places where I grew
'Neath the mesquite trees
And the warm summer breeze
You gotta savor all your childhood memories
Memories
[Verse 3]
Well, I've turned some corners around this old town
I've seen battle scars 'round the Alamo
And it sure amazes me to think about
How they fought so long ago in this old town
But here I go to pack my bags again
And follow the lone star in the sky
I don't think I could ever leave San Atone
Without a teardrop in my eye
[Chorus]
Well, take me there, Bandera Highway
To the places where I grew
'Neath the mesquite trees
And the warm summer breeze
You gotta savor all your childhood memories
Memories
