NEVER LEAVING TEXAS Written by: Barry P. Foley Copyright © 27 Feb 2012
Born in Virginia, with a guitar in my hand Dreamed of Nashville and the Grand Ole Opry show Heard Bob Wills playing, “Faded Love” Headed down to Texas, as fast as I could go : Now I’m never leaving Texas I’m as happy as I can be Amarillo down to Corpus Christi Bay Texas, is the only place for me Half T/A
Played on the streets of San Antone By the Alamo where history was made Out to Luckenbach, I played for ice cold beer Man, it was a hundred and two in shade
But, I’m never leaving Texas Home of Waylon, Willie and Strait Littlefield, Abbot and down to Pearsall town No place is better than the Lone Star State
When those Blue Bonnets bloomed in the spring In the Hill Country, I played a county fair Hot summer nights out on South Padre Island Corpus Christi winds are always there
I’m never leaving Texas Got the best job in all the land El Paso down to the Rio Grande Valley Playing Western Swing in a six piece band
I’m never leaving Texas Got a woman who loves on me From Conroe down to Galveston Bay Her Daddy owns oil-wells far as you can see TAG: Texas has been so very good to me
