lyrics

Realizing you know
That you’ve got to live a life
A million times before you ever been born
Shine a light on my soul,
Your body taught me something
That I never could have thought of before
If we ever get old
Promise me we’ll dance
And make a little noise
Before we are gone
When our bodies go cold
Let the fires burn em
And the smoke rise to the sky

These clouds of Texas
Are taking the shape of a bomb
My radio reminds me
That nothing has ever been wrong
This creek bed is dry now
But water will always return
My favorite guitar string
Is loosening the knots in my words.

No matter what you believe
Help me be a lover
And I’ll help us make a lot of mistakes
I’ll get down on one knee
And tie our shoes together
Cause sometimes we’re bound to fall on our face.
Maybe freedom ain’t free
Or maybe It’s a little bit of something
That our minds have to taste
Maybe love isn’t easy,
Or maybe it’s just seeing
That it’s flowing all over the place

This love of Texas
Is cooking the notes of our songs
Let’s throw us a barbecue
And bring all our demons along
Too late for a memory
The past is always already gone

This music reminds me
That nothing has ever been wrong

Over the sound of a sparrow
A woman cries
Like someone climbed
The Wailing Wall
She was playing with the Tarot
She pulled a card that read
That all these lives will end

2-3-4-3-2

This life in Texas
Is teaching me to live a little out of control
We talk about outlaws
And park along the wrong side of the road
Reincarnation is
Never drinking Lone Star alone
This music reminds me
That nothing has ever been wrong.
