The highway stretches out so far and wide
Got my old guitar sitting by my side
Leaving California in the rearview mirror
Heading for a place that I hold dear
I'm going back to Texas days
Where the sunsets set the fields ablaze
Back to where my heart belongs
In the rhythm of those simple songs
I can almost smell the BBQ smoke
Hear my daddy laugh at his old joke
Mama's waiting on the front porch swing
Lord, it's been so long since I've seen that thing
I'm going back to Texas days
Where the sunsets set the fields ablaze
Back to where my heart belongs
In the rhythm of those simple songs
The city lights can shine so bright
But they can't hold a candle to the Texas night
With a million stars up in the sky
It's the only place I feel alive
I'm going back to Texas days
Where the sunsets set the fields ablaze
Back to where my heart belongs
In the rhythm of those simple songs
Yeah, going back
To Texas days
Where my heart belongs
