Corpus Christi, adios
It’s time for me to leave your precious coast
I’ve done all I can do to stay around
Corpus Christi, adios

Hello Florida, where you been
Your plume touches high above the sky
I soar through the clouds like a bird
With my brother I land on this earth

Austin town invites me to her soul
The music we shared turned me around
Grandfather’s clock keeps ticking time
Time that I can’t keep track of

The desert draws me closer to you
I embrace all the colors in your eyes
Longing for your love everyday
You opened your heart just for me

The Texas plains brought me home again
The river runs its course like a man
Seeking his life down a road
With climbs and turns and no end in sight

George West, Texas, take me in
I need a place to rest these old bones
A chance to see those left be hind
Lifting their eyes up to you
