Texas Dream

I was born in the wake of a thunderstorm My mama cried when she looked into my hazel eyes I was alive and I grew to be an honest guy I made my mama cry when I left home with my pride I ran away looking for a claim to stake But my mistake was to gamble with the devil's heartbreak My mama cried when I crawled back to my home I fell into her arms, she said, "Baby, you are not alone" But this ain't my first rodeo I can make it on my own So I'm following a Texas dream I'm gonna plant the seed, I need my family tree I'm heading south to my baby on the open road I'll stay afloat until I finally have found that gold I'll live a simple life with a little one and my wife I'm gonna be kind to the people that pass me by 'Cause there's something that I've always known You're not alive if you're living alone So I'm following that Texas dream I'm gonna plant that seed and grow my family tree 'Cause there's something that I've always known You're not alive if you're living alone So I'm following that Texas dream I'm gonna plant that seed and grow my family tree
