Underneath The Texas Sky

Underneath the Texas Sky
(Postcard from Tex.S.P. cellblock # 309)


I hit the edge of nowhere
Ive got no place left to run
Too much time to think about what I should have done
But theres no way out now and theres no way back
No way to turn around this losing hand


Oh, I might have gone the wrong way
Sure turned out to be the long way
But only one thing keeps me holding on
Memories of
Summer nights
It was you and I
Underneath the Texas sky

Now many here have their regrets
Some choices dont hold up to the light of day
Open my hands and nothing is left
Only what I am theyve yet to take away

Oh, I might have gone the wrong way
Sure turned out to be the long way
But only one thing keeps me holding on
Memories of
Summer nights
It was you and I
Underneath the Texas sky

Too many tears that no one hears
Too many hands stained with blood
Too many wasted lives, too many alibis
They echo in the halls and drown me in the flood

Oh, I might have gone the wrong way
Sure turned out to be the long way
But only one thing keeps me holding on
Memories of
Summer nights
It was you and I
Underneath the Texas sky
It was you and I
Underneath the Texas sky
