Texas Wide

The first time I ever saw a ‘bama
Wasn’t miles before I first met Louisiana
I was on my way to the pearly gates
Headin’ for Texas wide
The first time I saw the Mississippi was a beautiful sight, but I ain’t got nobody with me
I am on my way to the pearly gates
Headin’ for Texas wide

It’s on the tip of my tongue
No man’s land
You’re on the tip of my tongue

Last time I filled the tank was at the water stop, just past the bank
Giddy ups won’t fix her up, they only turn her red
Last time I spoke to momma, shе cried and said she didn’t want my melodrama
Shе was round my age when her ma said, “Baby I won’t meet your daughter”
Tell me, tell me you’ll be better
Turn the kettle off
Let live what’s fine
I know, I know you’ll do better
Leave a light on
Pass down what’s mine

It’s on the tip of my tongue
No mans land
You’re on the tip of my tongue

Next time, next time I’ll be better
Turn the kettle off
Let live what’s fine
Next time, next time I’ll be better
Leave a light on
Pass down what’s mine
