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.

about

Steve D. Wilson Dallas, Texas

His narrative lyrics seem to hit you directly where the pain is, especially when delivered by such a unique & powerful voice.
A guy that spent a lifetime learning about his own limits might have a few things to say about life.
His personal observations about human emotion & introspection take the words from the empty spaces, set them to music and make or break your heart again and again.
