The Panhandlers - West Texas In My Eye lyrics
[The Panhandlers - West Texas In My Eye lyrics]
Lately I’ve been thinking I
Could leave this town
Cut back on my drinking
Stop this running round
Playing songs 'til after midnight
Staying up 'til dawn
There’s something in the dust and wind
That keeps me hanging on
And I never thought I’d live to
See the day I’d say goodbye
I ain’t crying, that’s west Texas in my eye
I’ll be your blue eyed bandit if you’ll be
My renegade i count a thousand tumbleweeds
Roll by me everyday
I’d like to grow a rose and
Stow it in that desert safe
Like a message in a bottle
Floating down the open plains
Where the Llano Estacado rises up
To meet the sky
I ain’t crying that’s west Texas in my eye
I’ve seen the thunder heads descend
And rip into the ground
The twisted hand of heaven
Spreading terror all around
Sending farmers in a deeper debt
And ranchers to the grave
Where towers mark the end of
Time with slowly spinning blades
'Til the water table falls below
The reach of human kind
I ain’t crying that’s west Texas in my eye
Lately I’ve been thinking I
Could leave this town
Cut back on my drinking and
Stop this running round
Playing songs til after midnight and
Staying up until dawn
But there’s something in the dust and
Wind that keeps me hanging on
And I never thought I’d live to
See the day I said goodbye
I ain’t crying that’s west Texas in my eye
I ain’t crying that’s west Texas in my eye
Could leave this town
Cut back on my drinking
Stop this running round
Playing songs 'til after midnight
Staying up 'til dawn
There’s something in the dust and wind
That keeps me hanging on
And I never thought I’d live to
See the day I’d say goodbye
I ain’t crying, that’s west Texas in my eye
I’ll be your blue eyed bandit if you’ll be
My renegade i count a thousand tumbleweeds
Roll by me everyday
I’d like to grow a rose and
Stow it in that desert safe
Like a message in a bottle
Floating down the open plains
Where the Llano Estacado rises up
To meet the sky
I ain’t crying that’s west Texas in my eye
I’ve seen the thunder heads descend
And rip into the ground
The twisted hand of heaven
Spreading terror all around
Sending farmers in a deeper debt
And ranchers to the grave
Where towers mark the end of
Time with slowly spinning blades
'Til the water table falls below
The reach of human kind
I ain’t crying that’s west Texas in my eye
Lately I’ve been thinking I
Could leave this town
Cut back on my drinking and
Stop this running round
Playing songs til after midnight and
Staying up until dawn
But there’s something in the dust and
Wind that keeps me hanging on
And I never thought I’d live to
See the day I said goodbye
I ain’t crying that’s west Texas in my eye
I ain’t crying that’s west Texas in my eye
