Everywhere Isn't Texas Songtext
von August Ponthier

Cat had my tongue and put me in a chokehold
Forever young, you only speak when you are so told
For there′s elders here and they're looking down
And you can′t see beyond the trees over town

They prod and poke and make me an example
Oh, what a joke to say I was a scandal
They'll say it's just a friendly fire
But then they′ll run me out ′til I'm tired
Ah, ah, ah, ah


Everywhere isn′t Texas
It's the only place you know, but that don′t make it home
Everywhere isn't Texas
And you don′t have to stay in this state alone
And I know that it sounds reckless but you don't have to stay in Texas
Ah, ah, ah, ah

In the Lone Star State, you could find a way to fake it
When you were born and laid, it seems impossible to escape it
I was dressing up as someone else
So I could shed the skin that let me down, down, oh, down
Oh, oh, oh, oh

Everywhere isn't Texas
It′s the only place you know, but that don′t make it home
Everywhere isn't Texas
And you don′t have to stay in this state alone
And I know that it sounds reckless
But you don't have to stay in Texas

Ah, ah, ah, ah
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
