THE MAN FROM DOWN NEAR WACO
THE MAN FROM DOWN NEAR WACO
f.t. talton/Corrina Jo Music/ASCAP

The way the mountains roll and tumble with the sky
The way the endless human spirit never dies
The sound of broken-hearted lovers when they cry
There’s a man from down near Waco
He’s got all of that just twinkling in his eye

It’s a complicated story, simply sung
Where the writin’s on the wall
With all the pictures neatly hung
And the words roll off a sharp and lethal tongue
Yeah, the man from down near Waco
Has a knack for foolin’ time and stayin’ young

Well, you can see his joy and pain in every wrinkle of his face
Stayin’ true to ramblin’ roots with dusty boots that shuffle into
Every rough and rowdy, honky tonkin’ place

There’s a power in his simple, gentle way
And it’s there in every single song he plays
There ain’t a chain that’s gonna hold him he will say
There’s a man from down near Waco
Ain’t lettin’ no one write his resume

The way the mountains roll and tumble with the sky
The way the endless human spirit never dies
The sound of broken-hearted lovers when they cry
There’s a man from down near Waco
He’s got all of that just twinkling in his eye
There’s a man from down near Waco
Has a crazy heart as big as Texas sky
