I'd Love To See Texas Again

I’d Love To See Texas Again
by Rio King

Before daylight, on an LA night,
all alone on a DC9
Layin’ half asleep with my feet on the seat,
and my woman on my mind,
I heard Bob Wills doin’ “Faded Love”
and I got a knot in my throat
And the longer he played, the stronger it stayed
and on the back of my ticket I wrote

Chorus
You never really know ‘till you’ve gone a while
how a part of your heart stays home.
There’s a piece of me missin’ that sunset kissin’
the Austin Capital dome.
I long to be where again I can see
a Texan tip a Stetson and grin
‘Cause I like the style of a “howdy” and a smile
I’d love to see Texas again.

Big city women have sophisticated charm
and they all have a mind of their own
And they go out at night with a man on their arm
like a setting for a precious stone.
People that are rude and fast talkin’ dudes
and you’ve gotta win to save your skin
You just say “you all” in that Panhandle drawl
and you’re outside a-lookin’ in.

Chorus

I kinda like the style of a “howdy” and a smile
I’d love to see Texas again.
