West Texas Skyline *FOCUS TRACK*

West Texas Skyline
(Terry Manning)

He shot out of El Paso he was on the run
Takin’ over the world at the point of a gun
He fought the law but nobody won

And then somewhere along the way
As the sky went from blue to grey
He thought one more time of that place he’d left behind
The West Texas skyline

Well a boy left Lubbock to became a man
To set the world on fire just as fast as he can
Yeah, twenty-two months was a lifetime then

And when somewhere along the way
As he tried to not fade away
He thought one last time of that home he’d left behind
That West Texas skyline

Well the dusts of the Chihuahuan desert are starting to blow
And in the mists of The Franklin Mountains it’s beginning to snow
And the lights of the Mission Valley shine down below

What a perfect place for a Rendezvous
For buzzin’ Oasis, and Crosno too
All the while thinkin’ ‘bout you know who

And when somewhere along our way
As we remember back in the day
We’ll think of all good people and better times
In that West Texas skyline
Far West Texas skyline
