Countdown to Texas

Four days to Texas
Amarillo bound
Can’t wait to see my baby
When I hit that dusty ground.

Goin’ home, after years gone by
Goin’ home, tryin’ not to cry
Tears of joy and happiness
When my baby’s by my side.
Goin’ home.

Three days to Texas
I can feel it drawing near
Like a hot blast of air
And a cold Budweiser beer.

Goin’ home, after years gone by
Goin’ home, tryin’ not to cry
Tears of joy and happiness
When my baby’s by my side.
Goin’ home.

Two more days to Texas
Amarillo here I come
Where the air smells of cattle
And cowboys get work done.

Goin’ home, after years gone by
Goin’ home, tryin’ not to cry
Tears of joy and happiness
When my baby’s by my side.
Goin’ home.

One last day to Texas
Back to my country roots
I’ll put aside my flip flops
And don my old black boots.

Goin’ home, after years gone by
Goin’ home, tryin’ not to cry
Tears of joy and happiness
When my baby’s by my side.
Goin’ home.

And now the wheels are touching
a runway on the plains
broad prairie sweeps around me
It’s different, but the same.

I’m home, after years gone by
I’m home, tears start to fall
In my baby’s arms I’ve finally found
My home.
