Lyrics
I'm coming back to Texas,
For the very last time,
I made a promise to get back there,
By the end of the night,
I spent the last four hours
Having the time of my life,
Now I'm coming back to Texas
For the very last time.
I guess the air got a l'il heavy,
And my legs got a little weak,
After a lifetime as a loser,
I finally found my winning streak,
Gave 'em all just a little wink,
And a quick wave goodbye,
Now I'm coming back to Texas
For the very last time.
You see a songbird singin'
Wasn't meant to see the cage,
And my soul poured out through my fingers
Into the blood I left on the stage,
I guess my show is finally over,
So I'll thank you and goodnight,
I'm coming back to Texas
For the very last time.
A little boy out of Oak Cliff,
Who wanna be just like his brother
So I picked up his guitar
And learned to play it like no other,
Got a girl waiting back at home,
So i'mma get on this ride,
And now I'm coming back to Texas,
For the very last time
You see a songbird singing,
Wasn't meant to see the cage,
And my soul poured out through my fingers,
Into the blood I left on the stage,
I guess my show is finally over,
So I'll thank you and goodnight,
And now I'm coming back to Texas
For the very last time,
I guess I'm coming back to Texas
For the very last time,
My soul will finally rest in Texas
For the very First Time.
