Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Folded shirts
Boots by the door
Mama’s eyes shine
Like I’ve seen before
Pickup humming
In the gravel drive
Daddy shakes my hand
Says, “Son, you’ll be fine”
[Chorus]
But my heart’s still back in Texas
On that red dirt county road
Where the radio’s too loud
And the sky’s all wide and gold
Yeah I’m headed for the Army
Doing what I swore I’d do
But I left a little Lone Star
In everything I knew
And I miss my home in Texas
More than Texas ever knew
[Verse 2]
New shaved head
Same old fear
Drill sergeant barking
Right in my ear
Mail call comes
I read it slow
Mama’s praying hard
Under that old church road
[Chorus]
’Cause my heart’s still back in Texas
Under Friday night field lights
Tailgates, cheap perfume
Crickets singing through the night
Yeah I’m wearing U.S. Army
On this wrinkled set of greens
But I still see dusty fence lines
Running through my dreams
And I miss my home in Texas
More than Texas ever seems
[Bridge]
If they ship me out at sunrise
To some place I can’t pronounce
I’ll tuck that porch swing sunset
Deep where they can’t shoot it out (oh-oh)
[Chorus]
’Cause my heart’s still back in Texas
On that worn-out second couch
Daddy snoring through the ball game
Sister laughing way too loud
Yeah I’m fighting for a country
Bigger than that little town
But when the quiet hits at midnight
That’s where my soul goes drifting down
I’m a long way from Texas
But Texas never left me now
