Tailgaters again. Same table, same beer.
I keep wonderin’ if I’ll ever see her again…
Whiskey don’t numb it like they say it should.
⸻
(Verse 1)
Walked in the bar, boots hittin’ the floor
Ordered me a pitcher, couldn’t take it no more
Bartender nodded like he felt that pain
Told him, “Fill it up,” let it pour like rain
Pizza and wings, Modelo in hand
Talkin’ to queens, just tryna understand
Why I’m sittin’ here shattered like glass on stone
Thinkin’ ’bout a girl who left me alone
George Strait on the jukebox spinnin’
She’d dance to that song like we were just beginnin’
Now I’m buzzed, lost, and stuck in that sound
Midnight hits, I’m still hangin’ around
⸻
(Chorus – Female Vocals)
“I’ve been thinkin’ ‘bout Texas so far,
Leavin’ Arizona with this beat-up heart
San Antone callin’ me under the stars,
With a cold beer waitin’ and a backyard fire
Big ol’ sky and a river so wide
Front porch dreams with nothin’ to hide
I’ll leave it all just to start brand new
If Texas means forgettin’ you…”
⸻
(Verse 2 – Morgan’s Verse)
Drunk as hell, stumbled to my Ram
’98 still purrin’ like it gives a damn
Hit the gas slow, just ridin’ alone
Replayin’ her voice all through my phone
Every time I walk in that place
There’s a waitress with calm in her face
Name tag read Morgan, soft like dawn
Eyes ultra-blue, man, they hit me strong
Couldn’t look away, even if I tried
Felt something real when she caught my eye
She brought me wings, made sure I was good
We talked for a while like only real ones could
Maybe it was just the beer or the way she smiled
But sittin’ with her made the pain feel mild
Before I leave, I hand her a twenty clean
Not just a tip — it’s thanks for bein’ seen
⸻
(Chorus – Repeat)
“I’ve been thinkin’ ‘bout Texas so far,
Leavin’ Arizona with this beat-up heart
San Antone callin’ me under the stars,
With a cold beer waitin’ and a backyard fire
Big ol’ sky and a river so wide
Front porch dreams with nothin’ to hide
I’ll leave it all just to start brand new
If Texas means forgettin’ you…”
⸻
(Bridge – Spoken/Melodic)
Maybe Texas ain’t just dirt and sky
Maybe it’s peace I’ve been passin’ by
A place to let go, to feel brand new
Where I stop chasin’ ghosts that look like you
⸻
(Final Verse)
I’ve been dreamin’ of a porch and land
Big firepit, cold drink in hand
Front yard swing, stars blinkin’ above
Nothin’ but space and a little self-love
Might not have much but I got this plan
To leave Arizona like a brand-new man
San Antone’s where my soul might mend
Where the pain runs dry and the nights don’t end
⸻
(Final Chorus – Strong Finish)
“I’ve been thinkin’ ‘bout Texas so far,
Leavin’ Arizona with this beat-up heart
San Antone callin’ me under the stars,
With a cold beer waitin’ and a backyard fire
Big ol’ sky and a river so wide
Front porch dreams with nothin’ to hide
I’ll leave it all just to start brand new
If Texas means forgettin’ you…”
⸻
(Outro – Spoken)
Morgan’s eyes still live in my mind…
But Texas?
Texas feels like freedom.
