Red Raiders Nights

[Verse]
Late for class again shoes untied
Running like I’m chasing the West Texas sky
Red dust in my lungs coffee in my veins
Professors don’t smile but I’m learning the game
[Prechorus]
And I hear her voice on the phone every night
“Are you eating real food are you sleeping alright?”
[Chorus]
Red Raiders nights and my grades on the line
Books in the morning tequila by nine
Roxie’s barking I can hear her through the phone
Mom says
“When you coming home?”
[Verse 2]
Cowboy boots and neon lights
Keg stands blur but they feel so right
Dorm room mess piled high like dreams
But I swear I’m more than what it seems
[Prechorus]
And I hear her voice like a song stuck in time
“Are you making good choices are you toeing the line?”
[Chorus]
Red Raiders nights and my grades on the line
Books in the morning tequila by nine
Roxie’s barking I can hear her through the phone
Mom says
“When you coming home?”
