Cruisin' Texas Avenue

We used to go cruisin Texas Avenue in Baytown, Texas during the height of our glory days, the late sixties and early seventies. Like a scene out of American Graffitti - every night was Saturday night on Texas Avenue. I wrote the song shortly after a fire destroyed Robert E. Lee High School in 1987. The school was rebuilt, but Texas Avenue turned into a ghost town when The Mall was built out on Interstate 10.
