I can't count the cities and towns that I've left behind Me I'm still drifting, running on rodeo time Tonight a steel guitar's playing And I'm alone at a table for two Chasing 8 second glory I've sure come a long way for you I'm West Texas lonely Tennessee whiskey blue Lost between Lynchburg And a three-quarter El Paso moon Without you to hold me I'm still torn half in two I'm West Texas lonely And Tennessee whiskey blue Well a week from tonight I'll see Amarillo again And I can't help but wonder If you'll be there in the stands I guess you remember That spotlight gets dimmer each day Cause being a cowboy Always means riding away And I'm West Texas lonely And Tennessee whiskey blue Lost between Lynchburg And a three-quarter El Paso moon Without you to hold me I'm still torn half in two I'm West Texas lonely And Tennessee whiskey blue I'm West Texas lonely And Tennessee whiskey blue

I can feel her comin' From a hundred miles away like a freight train Draggin' me down memory lane She comes strollin' in and rollin' through My home town like a dust cloud That's here as fast as it blows away Maybe someday I'll get her to stay She's as wild as West Texas weather Can't pin her down, hold her back Gotta pray for God to bring her back I'll wait here for forever Maybe one day we'll be together She's as wild as West Texas weather She can make a midland gray sky Fade away to a sunny day She comes and goes like the rain That's one thing that won't ever change She's as wild as West Texas weather Can't pin her down, hold her back Gotta pray for God to bring her back I'll wait here for forever Maybe one day we'll be together She's as wild as West Texas weather She's as wild as West Texas weather Can't pin her down, hold her back Gotta pray for God to bring her back I'll wait here for forever Maybe one day we'll be together She's as wild as West Texas weather West Texas weather

It's dark, and it's quiet in my house tonight Babies are all gone to sleep It's hard to imagine a better life Than the one I get to lead I had a glass of wine, but my mind is clear These walls, they talk to me Don't blink an eye, you're a young man now But you won't always be My blood and my bones, my heart and my hands They try to hold all of this in But I'm running to You like West Texas wind Singing, God, I need You, oh, how I need You God, I need You again I've learned to hide my fear in my bones My body don't shake like the kids But I'm easily scared and often confused I rarely know what I did I've made mistakes and even worse than that I've hurt the ones that I love I wish that peace could find me here But it seldom ever does My blood and my bones, my heart and my hands They try to hold all of this in So, I'm running to You like a West Texas wind Singing, God, I need You, oh, how I need You God, I need You again I'm in the shadows of Heaven and earth Maybe they should be the same My earthly body is bound and conflicted And I'm left feeling the pain This house is not our only home You can't protect love with stone God, I know You can hear me, so, please, come near me I'm ready to let the world go My blood and my bones, my heart and my hands They try to hold all of this in So I'm running to you like a West Texas wind Singing God, I need You, oh, how I need You God, I need You again
