Wash away the tears
All the angry times we shared
All the feelings and the
Sorrows come and gone
We have let them slip away
Because I'm standing here today
And I'm smiling at your old
West Texas sun
I remember times
When you'd weathered out my mind
But you always had a peaceful
Word to say
And you could always bring a smile
With the mischief in your eyes
Still, I'm glad the miles
Keep me separate from your games
You know you're still as wild
As those old west Texas plains
Standing by the highway
Do you still call my name?
Lord, I can't believe
It's been such a long, long time
Since I've seen that Texas boy smile
Well, I'll be heading out of town
I may stop by next time around
Hell, it's raining, but at least
That's something real
I came shackled down with fears
About our dreams and wasted years
And now I know exactly how to feel
Wash away the tears
All the angry times we shared
All the feelings and the
Sorrows come and gone
We have let them slip away
Because I'm standing here today
Smiling at your old west Texas sun
All the angry times we shared
All the feelings and the
Sorrows come and gone
We have let them slip away
Because I'm standing here today
And I'm smiling at your old
West Texas sun
I remember times
When you'd weathered out my mind
But you always had a peaceful
Word to say
And you could always bring a smile
With the mischief in your eyes
Still, I'm glad the miles
Keep me separate from your games
You know you're still as wild
As those old west Texas plains
Standing by the highway
Do you still call my name?
Lord, I can't believe
It's been such a long, long time
Since I've seen that Texas boy smile
Well, I'll be heading out of town

Hell, it's raining, but at least

About our dreams and wasted years
And now I know exactly how to feel
Wash away the tears
All the angry times we shared
All the feelings and the
Sorrows come and gone
We have let them slip away
