Artist Chris Rea Song Texas
Warm winds blowing Heating blue sky And a road that goes forever
Been thinking 'bout it lately Been watching some TV Been looking all around me At what has come to be Been talking to my neighbour And he agrees with me It's all gone crazy
Well my wife returns from taking My little girl to school She's got beads of perspiration As she tries to keep her cool She says That mess it don't get no better There's gonna come a day Someone's gonna get killed out there And I turn to her and say Texas She says What? I said Texas She says What? They've got big long road out there
Warm winds blowing Heating blue sky And a road that goes forever I'm going to Texas
We got to get out of here We got to get out of here
Well I got a little brother Several meters high Yea his built just like a quarterback And he swears he'll testify he says he's been to Texas And that's the only place to be Big stakes, big girls, no trouble there That's the place for me
I'm going to Texas I'm going to Texas Watch me walking Watch me walking
The Rio Grande River is down there too. And the Lake in Austin is a great place to go swim.(that's a huge man-made quarry) If your into rock hunting you can still find diamonds in Texas (Montgomery Co. and Foard Co.) Lots of petrified wood and agate. Also nice opal and turquoise.
