Midland
Texas Is The Last Stop - Live from Spotify House SXSW 2016
[Instrumental]
[One, two, three, four...]
[Verse 1]
Well I'll tell you folks one thing
And hope you'd understand
I've traveled from the far side to the near side of this land
And I've seen it all
Roll out from my windshield and then
Still I'm goin' back to Texas
As fast I can
[Chorus]
Some say home is where the heart is
It ain't no piece of land
I say home is the heart of Texas
Just south of Austin
And i'll be drivin' that old wreck
Doin' a hundred and eleven
Because Texas is the last stop
Before I get to heaven
[woo!]
[Verse 2]
Well I've been up around the Great Lakes
And over to New England
Didn't see too many cowboy hats
Didn't hear many "Thank you Ma'am's"
And I've been up around the Northwest
Where those trees are big and tall
But it always made me so sad
Not to hear the folks say "Y'all"
[Chorus]
Some say home is where the heart is
It ain't no piece of land
I said home is the heart of Texas
Just south of Austin
And I'll be drivin' that old wreck
Doin' a hundred and eleven
Because Texas is the last stop
Before I get to heaven
[Guitar boys!]
[Instrumental]
[Bridge]
Oooooie smell that mesquite
My darlin' oooooie
Smell that barbeque
Those cottonwood trees
And those cicadas singin'
They're all waitin' just to greet you
[Verse 3]
Well I've been even been to Paris
And although it was great
If I'm goin' back to Paris
It's the one in the Lone Star State
'Cause I'd only miss those honky tonks, friendly folks, and women
Yeah I'm goin' back to Texas
Fast as I can
[Chorus]
Some say home is where the heart is
It ain't no piece of land
I say home is the heart of Texas
Just south of Austin
And i'll be drivin' that old wreck
Doin' a hundred and eleven
Because Texas is the last stop
Before I get to heaven
Texas is the last stop
Before I get to heaven
[Instrumental]
[Awwwww yeah....]
