The highway stretches out so far and wide Got my old guitar sitting by my side Leaving California in the rearview mirror Heading for a place that I hold dear I'm going back to Texas days Where the sunsets set the fields ablaze Back to where my heart belongs In the rhythm of those simple songs I can almost smell the BBQ smoke Hear my daddy laugh at his old joke Mama's waiting on the front porch swing Lord, it's been so long since I've seen that thing I'm going back to Texas days Where the sunsets set the fields ablaze Back to where my heart belongs In the rhythm of those simple songs The city lights can shine so bright But they can't hold a candle to the Texas night With a million stars up in the sky It's the only place I feel alive I'm going back to Texas days Where the sunsets set the fields ablaze Back to where my heart belongs In the rhythm of those simple songs Yeah, going back To Texas days Where my heart belongs
