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

September come to Texas just one time every year, so we get our guns and our Pickup trucks, and a bunch of that Lone Star beer, well we head out for the Open plains, where the birds they all flow like wine, we hunt them up then we Shoot them down, man it makes me feel so fine, The manly sport is what I'm Talking about, so you can grab you a pouch of chew, If we get bored 'cause the Birds won't fly, we'll shoot the rabbits with my .22. I don't wanna go to Paris, I get enough French will my fries, Just send me on down to Abilene, for the huntingman's paradise, Honey you can stay at home all day, laugh and dance go out shopping and play, 'Cause I'll be out with the boys, on a West Texas Holiday. Hunting is a lot like religion or so it is I'm told, they're both just a simple Little way of life, and they're both good for your soul, from Robert Earl Keen To Robert E. Lee, perfect strangers or best of friends, we all have a common Little bond between us we were born to be huntin' men, If it flies it dies or So they say, and so often times it's true, yeah but you take yours and I'll Take mine, and we'll have us a Bar-B-Que.
