Colorado is too cold
The snow gets the best of me
Just laying there beside the fire place
Looks like where you outta be
And Oklahoma is too rich
With American history
It's kinda funny how it reminds me
Of all those books you used to read
And if I stay gone much longer
I might really go insane
'Cause no matter where I go
Well, I'll just be missin' you in a Texas kind of way
And I keep seeing you in Houston
Down at Matagorda Bay
And up on 6th Street in Austin
At the rodeo in Santa Fe
Might as well just lock me up in Huntsville
If your memory's here to stay
'Cause no matter where I go
Well, I'll just be missin' you in a Texas kind of way
And New York's got all them lights
Well, it's the city that never sleeps
Detroit can sure build me a fast car
To try and outrun your memory
Montana skies go on for miles
Like the love you said you had for me
But if I keep writing all these sad songs
Might as well just stay in Tenessee
And I keep seein' you in Houston
And down at Matagorda Bay
And up on 6th Street in Austin
At the rodeo in Santa Fe
Might as well just lock me up in Hunstville
If your memory's here to stay
'Cause no matter where I go
Well, I'll just be missin' you in a Texas kind of way
