Jason Boland & The Stragglers
"Somewhere Down In Texas"

When I look South and see the storm clouds roll
on their way to old mexico...I dont wanna be alone
And the rays of light through my Shiner Bock bottle
make me wanna turn the key and put down the throttle
and get lost down 35

When I get tied down by the ties that bind
seems like Im never gunna find the time
to do what I need
Thats to find me a place where I can think
talk about love, and laugh and drank
and theres someone there who cares

Cause no matter how big the storms
I know I can find me a place thats warm
the sun is shinnin somewhere in Texas
I hope its shinnin' on her
Somewhere down in Texas..

In a place that big a man could get lost
nevermind the timeforget about the cost
theres more important things

Shes smilin somewhere north of San Antone
and Ive got a number but I stare at the phone
cause I still want to believe

That no matter how big the storms
I know I can find me a place thats warm
the sun is shinnin somewhere in Texas
I hope its shinnin on her
Somewhere down in Texas...

To hell with horoscopes and empty dreams
to hell with Valentino and his cut off pair of jeans
cause I know I can make it there on a 12 pack and a prayer

Cause no matter how big it storms
I know I can find me a place thats warm
the sun is shinnin' somewhere in Texas
I hope its shinnin on her
Somewhere down in Texas...Down in Texas...
