Born in Dallas Texas Reckless to the bone Raised on rusty nails and razor blades And good home grown Well the city made me Now the country's my home I cut my teeth and mince no words Best leave well enough alone They say I'm crazy When I roam Now I'm on your radio Hell bound maybe Wherever I belong Texan to the bone Great state of Texas Forever be my home I really ain't no gambler I take what I want I'm no stranger to the danger Better watch your tone Up in the morning drinking gasoline These hands are made of stone Long as I care to remember I'm restless to the bone They say I'm crazy When I roam Now I'm on your radio Hell bound maybe Wherever I belong Texan to the bone Great state of Texas Forever be my home I don't ride no horses Mine would shine in chrome These boots are muddy and bloody From crushing bones And if you are weary Wear a crown of thorns Some people call me an outlaw Cause of what I've done They say I'm crazy When I roam Now I'm on your radio Hell bound maybe Wherever I belong Texan to the bone Great state of Texas Forever be my home Great state of Texas Forever be my home

What used to be a happy happy home Feels so alone No more hallway laughter and screams Just broken dreams Sitting here flicking ashes in the dark As I fall apart Think of all the love that we had shared A load to bear In these streets Heal me I feel we Are connected And neglected Beautiful wreckage Are connected And neglected Beautiful wreckage I tell you boys she'll eat you alive With evil eyes I told you once that she ain't nothing nice You pay the price She's on the hunt and you're going down Night on the town She will chew you up and spit you out She's lurking about In these streets Heal me I feel we Are connected And neglected Beautiful wreckage Are connected And neglected Beautiful wreckage Oh sweet daddy let's go for a drive He laughs and smiles And daddy's blowing kisses in the rear view If he only knew Danger rounds the corner of a busy street He doesn't see And in a flash another family's gone Seems so wrong In these streets Heal me I feel we Are connected And neglected Beautiful wreckage Are connected And neglected Beautiful wreckage

Staring out the window Counting signs The look on my face Says it all I wanna give up I can't let you down Too many nights out here alone It's not right To be so wrong As she waits I've been gone Its your faith I'm leaning on These Honky Tonk nights Seem so long Late last night In a crowded room A fight broke out I stood on stage I missed my home The love that dwells The law broke in I was on my way It's not right Be so wrong As she waits I've been gone It's your faith I'm leaning on These Honky Tonk nights Seem so long I look at the world Through the bottom of a glass I make my money Till lights go down I'm counting the days Till I get back And maybe somehow I'll know what it takes It's not right To be so wrong As she waits I've been gone It's your faith I'm leaning on These Honky Tonk nights Seem so long

Well I'm crossing that Grayson county line With some old friends of mine We're sipping on that sour mash and wine We gonna have ourselves a real good time Well I've been gone seven days in a row Where it leads I may never know Thousand more miles to the show So it goes I chose the open road Well I'm crossing that Van Zandt county line With some old friends of mine We're sipping on that sour mash and wine We gonna have ourselves a real good time With skies of blue and fields of emerald green The state of Texas is a beauty queen She is like the roadmap of my dreams I take the train and cross the many streams Well I'm crossing that Van Zandt county line With some old friends of mine Sipping on that sour mash and wine We gonna have ourselves a real good time My love it seems to fall apart I feel as if it's doomed from the start Now I sing these songs of broken hearts My love for you will never depart Well I'm crossing that Collin county line With some old friends of mine We're sipping on that sour mash and wine We gonna have ourselves a real good time

Holler 03:58
I spent my fair share of time in a holler Wasting my money on women and booze I've seen the pale walls there in the county I've squandered and cheated and been such a fool And it's easy to love And it's easy to fall It's so easy to cry But it's hard to live a lie There is a place where grief has no mercy It's the darkest of hollows for a sinner like me And I walked to that house just around the corner And I would partake of the evilest of deeds And it's easy to love And it's easy to fall It's so easy to cry But it's hard to live a lie Torn is the heart Of my true love Washing away all that is free Some things you lose that can never return So chalk up your losses and just let it be And it's easy to love And it's easy to fall It's so easy to cry But it's hard to live a lie And it's easy to love And it's easy to fall It's so easy to cry But it's hard to live a lie
