Under the east tx sky

🎵 “Under That East Texas Sky”
(Verse 1)
Pine trees standing tall and still
Red dirt roads over every hill
Screen door slams, cicadas cry
Heat waves dance in July
Porch light flickers, sun goes down
That golden hour wraps this town
Purple clouds drifting slow and high
Nothing like that East Texas sky
(Chorus)
Under that East Texas sky
Over Panola County nights
Stars fall slow like fireflies
Shining on these simple lives
From sunrise gold to midnight blue
There’s peace you feel deep down in you
No matter where this road runs by
My heart stays under that East Texas sky
(Verse 2)
Friday lights and a small-town band
Holding her close, holding her hand
Tailgate down by the pasture gate
Talking dreams, talking fate
Summer storms rolling in strong
Thunder singing its low slow song
Rain on tin like a lullaby
Then clear again — that wide-open sky
(Chorus)
Under that East Texas sky
Over Panola County nights
Stars fall slow like fireflies
Shining on these simple lives
From sunrise gold to midnight blue
There’s peace you feel deep down in you
No matter where this road runs by
My heart stays under that East Texas sky
(Bridge)
I’ve seen big cities, neon bright
But they don’t shine the same at night
As a gravel drive and a moon so high
Hanging low in a country sky
(Breakdown – soft)
Crickets singing
Wind through the pines
Lord, it slows down time
(Final Chorus – bigger)
Under that East Texas sky
Over Panola County nights
Where every prayer and every try
Rises up and learns to fly
From childhood days to grown man’s pride
It’s where my roots run deep inside
No matter how far these miles go by
I’ll always be under that East Texas sky
(Outro)
Pine trees swaying slow and high
God painted that East Texas sky.
