What the hell am I doing up in Kansas City?
No damn way that ain't where I belong,
no, no.
Think I quit my job come five o'clock.
Am I alone and way back home?
Well,
my baby said,
Justin,
what are you trying to prove here?
You really want to leave me here all alone?
Said I'm tired of staring at this ocean for the Yankees.
I'd rather be in Texas on my own.
When we were southbound 35,
we were heading down
for the border by the morning.
Let Texas fill my soul.
Yeah, let Texas fill my soul.
Well,
tears start to flow about the time that I was leaving.
She said, I guess you better take me along.
She said the guy might have made her a little Yankee child.
Said it's time that I made Texas now her home.
So we loaded her stuff on down into my pickup truck.
Said adios to all my friends.
Called my brother Dave living down in Austin.
Said I'm headed home again.
Oh, yeah, now we were southbound 35.
We were heading down for the border by the morning.
So let Texas fill my soul.
Let Texas fill my soul.
You had her feet up there on the dashboard.
Holding my hand and wearing only a smile.
Said it's going to be hard just to start all over.
Feel like heaven and nature all the while.
Oh, yeah, now we were southbound 35.
We were heading down for the border by the morning.
Let Texas fill my soul.
Let Texas fill my soul.
I got Texas in my soul.
I got Texas in my soul.
