Texas In My Rear View Mirror

Dans le style de

Mac Davis

Paroles

i was just fifteen
and out of control
lost to james dean
and rock and roll
i knew down deep
in my country soul
that i had to get away

and hollywood was
a lady in red
who danced
in my dreams
as i tossed in bed
i knew i'd wind up
in jail or dead
if i have to stay

i thought
happiness was
lubbock texas
in my rearview mirror
my mama kept
callin' me home
but i just did not
want to hear her

and the vision
was gettin'
clearer
in my dreams

so i lit out
one night in june
stoned on the glow
of the texas moon
hummin' an old
buddy holly tune
called peggy sue

with my
favorite jeans
and a cheap guitar
i ran off chasin'
the distant star

if buddy holly
could make it
that far then
i figured i could too

and i thought
happiness was
lubbock texas
in my rearview mirror
my mama kept
callin' me home
but i just did not
want to hear her

and the vision
was gettin'
clearer
in my dreams

but the
hollywood moon
didn't smile
the same old smile
that i'd grown up with
the lady in red
just wanted
my last dime

and i cried myself
to sleep at night
too dumb to run
too scared to fight
and too proud
to admit it
at the time

so i got me some gigs
on saturday nights
not much more than
orchestrated fights
i'd come home drunk
and i'd try to write
but the words
came out wrong

hell-bent and bound
for a wasted youth
too much gin and
not enough vemouth

and no one
to teach me
how to
seek the truth
before i
put it in the song

i still thought
happiness was
lubbock texas
in my rearview mirror
my mama kept
callin' me home
but i just could not
would not hear her

and the vision
was gettin'
clearer
in my dreams

well i thank god
each and every day
for givin' me
the music
and the words
to say

i'd have never
made it
any other way
he was my
only friend

and now i sleep
a little better
at night
and when i look
in the mirror
in the mornin' light

the man i see
was both
wrong and right
he's goin' home
again

i guess
happiness was
lubbock texas
in my rearview mirror
but now happiness
is lubbock texas
growin' nearer
and dearer

and the vision
is gettin'
clearer
in my dreams

and i think i
finally know
just what it means
and when i die
you can bury me
in lubbock texas
in my jeans
