Goodbye Texas

作曲 : Harriette Hull

If l left Texas

Would your Lone Star stated bluebonnets even look my way?

And if l don't vote Republican

Can l still come home again around Christmas?

Your big red arms held me

For so long, it would seem I'm in need of a blue state

And you know l'll always call you home

But l don't know if l'll call home when you don't wanna call me anything

And breakin'up with Texas didn't seem to be so reckless

But when you don't own a gun, it's a lot less fun

So goodbye, Texas

If l left Texas

Would that hot-headed sunset ever come rest her sweet head down right here?

And when l don't think it's selfish to try to change yourself then

Oh Texas, we don't see eye to eye

You got wide open spaces,l know

But what was green now won't grow

I'm in need of a blue state

And you know I'll always call you home

But l don't know if I'll call home when you don't wanna call me anything

And breakin' up with Texas didn't seem to be so reckless

But when you don't own a gun, it's a lot less fun

So goodbye, Texas

I tell George and Tanya that I'm so sorry but they hardly believe me again

I shoulda said this when l was thirteen

But l swear that l said things back then

I'd bet you on your yellow roses

You'll be the first to notice when I'm wrong

So goodbye, Texas

Goodbye Texas

Goodbye Texas

Goodbye yellow roses

So goodbye, Texas

Goodbye Texas

Goodbye Texas

Goodbye yellow roses

So goodbye, Texas

Goodbye Texas

Goodbye Texas

Goodbye yellow roses
