Texas Sunflower
[Intro] (spoken)
Yeah…
Back roads, Texas skies…
Funny what’ll make you remember somebody.
[Verse 1]
Backroad ridin’, windows halfway down,
Two-lane highway, ain’t nobody around.
Heat waves dancin’, tires hum a tune,
Then I catch that yellow bloom in the afternoon.
Wild on the shoulder, didn’t need no rain,
Still standin’ tall through the dust and pain.
Made me think of you, yeah, just like that,
One little flower took me way back.
You used to smile like a summer sunrise,
Gold in your soul, light in your eyes.
Now every mile got your memory stamped,
Every field feel like an old photograph.
[Chorus] (melodic, simple)
Texas sunflower,
Still got me thinkin’ ‘bout you.
Texas sunflower,
Every road leads back to you.
Texas sunflower…
Still bloomin’ in my mind.
Texas sunflower…
One of a kind.
[Verse 2]
I could keep on drivin’, never slow it down,
But that little flower always stops me now.
Didn’t ask to grow where the gravel meets,
Still found a way through the Texas heat.
Guess that’s how love leaves a mark behind,
Shows up unexpected at the perfect time.
Now every yellow petal catch my eye,
Like you’re still ridin’ on the passenger side.
Sun droppin’ low, shadows get long,
Radio playin’ our old favorite song.
Some folks move on, maybe that’s true…
Me? I just keep findin’ pieces of you.
[Chorus] (melodic, simple)
Texas sunflower,
Still got me thinkin’ ‘bout you.
Texas sunflower,
Every road leads back to you.
Texas sunflower…
Still bloomin’ in my mind.
Texas sunflower…
One of a kind.
[Chorus] (melodic, simple)
Texas sunflower,
Still got me thinkin’ ‘bout you.
Texas sunflower,
Every road leads back to you.
Texas sunflower…
Still bloomin’ in my mind.
Texas sunflower…
One of a kind.
[Final Chorus]
Texas sunflower,
Still got me thinkin’ ‘bout you.
Texas sunflower,
Every road leads back to you.
Texas sunflower…
Still bloomin’ in my mind.
Texas sunflower…
One of a kind.
[Outro] (spoken)
Another back road…
Another sunflower…
Another reminder.
