[Verse 1]
Texas was clean, just an oilman's dream
A slate that I'd never written on
The dust blowing 'round a lonely town
Boots on the board of a barn
As far from the South without getting out
Oh, the corner of my heart

[Verse 2]
All this born in the powder and the horn
The feather on the gridded green
The brown and the white, the rich and the poor
Taking the hit for the team
And the horse they rode was a merry soul
Flickering on my bed post at night

[Chorus]
Hey I wanna go (It's just another place to go)
Hey I wanna go
Hey I wanna go (It's just another place to go)
I wanna go there
And hey I wanna go (It's just another place to go)
Hey I wanna go
Hey I wanna go (It's just another place to go)
I wanna go there
[Post-Chorus]
The horse they rode was a merry soul

[Verse 3]
I knew you for a moment or two
In a life that seems to just expand
In the Austin night under vapor lights
You laughed at me then you took me in
On the Day of the Dead in a circle we said the names
Oh, from the corner of our hearts

[Chorus]
Hey I wanna go (It's just another place to go)
Hey I wanna go
Hey I wanna go (It's just another place to go)
I wanna go there
And hey I wanna go (It's just another place to go)
Hey I wanna go
Hey I wanna go (It's just another place to go)
I wanna go there
Oh, I wanna go there
And hey I wanna go (It's just another place to go)
Hey I wanna go
Hey I wanna go (It's just another place to go)
I wanna go there
[Post-Chorus]
As far from the South without getting out
