To let Texas fill my soul, to let Texas fill my soul
The feeling I have well it makes it all worthwhile", oh yeah
Well, my baby said, "Just what are you trying to prove here?
To let Texas fill my soul, to let Texas fill my soul
Said, "Adios" to all my friends
I think I'll quit my job, come five o'clock
We were headed down the road
Said, "I'm tired of staring at this ocean full of Yankees
To let Texas fill my soul, to let Texas fill my soul
Now we were southbound 35
Called my brother Dave living down in Austin
Hit the border by the morning
Holding my hand and wearing only a smile
I said, "I'm headed home again" oh yeah
Really want to leave me here all alone?"
Well, the tears start to flow about the time that I was leaving
Said, "It's gonna be hard just to start all over
He had her feet up there on the dashboard
I'd rather be in Texas on my own", oh yeah
She said, "It's time that I made Texas now her home"
Find my lonely way back home
Now we were southbound 35
We were headed down the road
We were headed down the road
Now we were southbound 35
She said that, "God might have made her born a little Yankee child"
So we loaded her stuff on down into my pickup truck
She said, "I guess you better take me along"
Hit the border by the morning
Hit the border by the morning
