Texas Was Clean

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Texas was clean, just an oilman's dream A slate that I'd never written on The dust blowing 'round a lonely town Boots on the board of a barn As far from the South without getting out Oh, the corner of my heart [Verse 2] All this born in the powder and the horn The feather on the gridded green The brown and the white, the rich and the poor Taking the hit for the team And the horse they rode was a merry soul Flickering on my bed post at night [Chorus] Hey I wanna go (It's just another place to go) Hey I wanna go Hey I wanna go (It's just another place to go) I wanna go there And hey I wanna go (It's just another place to go) Hey I wanna go Hey I wanna go (It's just another place to go) I wanna go there [Post-Chorus] The horse they rode was a merry soul [Verse 3] I knew you for a moment or two In a life that seems to just expand In the Austin night under vapor lights You laughed at me then you took me in On the Day of the Dead in a circle we said the names Oh, from the corner of our hearts [Chorus] Hey I wanna go (It's just another place to go) Hey I wanna go Hey I wanna go (It's just another place to go) I wanna go there And hey I wanna go (It's just another place to go) Hey I wanna go Hey I wanna go (It's just another place to go) I wanna go there Oh, I wanna go there And hey I wanna go (It's just another place to go) Hey I wanna go Hey I wanna go (It's just another place to go) I wanna go there [Post-Chorus] As far from the South without getting out
