Lyrics
(Verse 1)
When the sun beats down on this ol' dusty town,
I'm cruisin' these streets, ain't nobody around.
Guitar in my hand, I'm feelin' the groove,
In this Texas heat, I've got nothing to lose.
(Chorus)
Oh, Texas blues, you're the heart of my soul,
From the Red River to the Gulf, you make me whole.
With your steely strings and your soulful cries,
You're my lone star light in these wide open skies.
(Verse 2)
Down in Austin, where the music flows free,
Playin' those licks under the live oak tree.
From Dallas to Houston, I'm feelin' the vibe,
Every note I play, I'm alive inside.
(Chorus)
Oh, Texas blues, you're the heart of my soul,
From the Red River to the Gulf, you make me whole.
With your steely strings and your soulful cries,
You're my lone star light in these wide open skies.
(Bridge)
When the storm clouds gather, and the thunder rolls,
Your sweet melody soothes my weary soul.
In the heart of the night, when I'm feelin' alone,
Your rhythm and rhyme bring me back home.
(Verse 3)
From the plains of Lubbock to San Antone,
The spirit of Texas, it calls me home.
With every chord strummed and every tear shed,
The legacy of blues, it forever spreads.
(Chorus)
Oh, Texas blues, you're the heart of my soul,
From the Red River to the Gulf, you make me whole.
With your steely strings and your soulful cries,
You're my lone star light in these wide open skies.
(Outro)
So here's to the sound that never fades away,
The Texas blues, where I'll always stay.
In this land of dreams and endless skies,
The heart of Texas blues forever lies.
