Colorado is too cold
The snow gets the best of me
Just laying there beside the fire place
looks like where you otta be
and oklahoma is to rich
with american history
Its kind funny how it reminds me
Of all those books you use to read
And if i stay gone much longer
might really go insane
cause no matter where i go

Ill just be missing you in a texas kind of way
I keep seeing you in Houston
Down in matagorda Bay
And up on 6th street in Austin
At the rodeo in Santa Fe

MIGHT AS WELL JUST LOCK ME UP IN HUNTSVILLE
if your memories here to stay
Cause no matter where i go
Ill just be missing you in a texas kind of way

And new yorks got all them nights
Well its the city that never sleeps
Detroit can sure build me a fast car to try
and out run your memories
montana skies go on for miles
Like the love you said you had for me
but if i keep writing all these sad songs
might as well just stay in tenessee

And i keep seein you in Houston
Down at matagorda bay
And up on 6th street in Austin
At the rodeo in Santa Fe

MIGHT AS WELL JUST LOCK ME UP IN HUNTSVILLE
If your memories is here to stay
cause no matter where i go
ill just be missin you in a texas kind of way

here we go

and ill keep seeing you in houston
And down at matagorda bay
And up on 6th street in Austin
at the rodeo in santa fe

MIGHT AS WELL JUST LOCK ME UP IN HUNTSVILLE
if your memories here to stay
cause no matter where i go

Ill just be missing you in a Texas kind of way

oohhh no matter where i go

Ill just be missin you in a texas kind of way
