West Tx Songtext
von Cole Phillips

You say you know me well
But I don′t even know myself
I'm tradin′ all my problems
For the bottle on the shelf

Baby, don't you know that I could make it if I tried?
So, I'm headin′ down to that West Texas line

Made it through Texola
Finally leavin′ Oklahoma
As my heart is on I-40
My tires on the ground
Straight through Amarillo
You've got teardrops on your pillow
As I′m passin' through that West Texas town

Well, it′s late and it's cold
And this bullshit′s gettin' old
We can't find a reason or a rhyme
Well, I′m tired and I′m blue
Honey, I'm fed up with you
So, I′m headin' down to that West Texas line


Made a stop in Plainview
Thought I saw you in my rearview
As I pulled on over for a pack of smokes
Well, I lit one up and I burned it down
Threw a splash of Coke in my cup of crown
Before I head on back down that West Texas road

And it′s late and it's cold
And this bullshit′s gettin' old
We can't find a reason or a rhyme
Well, I′m tired and I′m blue
Baby, I'm fed up with you
I′m headin' down to that West Texas line

Get it
You know what I shoulda said, I shoulda said guitar
Give me some slacks now

Well, I got to where I′m goin'
Dusty winds they ain′t stop blowin'
And the thought of you still drivin' me insane
I′m headin′ back to Okie yeah, where everybody knows me
Yeah, I'm leavin′ these here West Texas plains


And it's late and it′s cold
And I'm missin′ my home
Let's try to find us a reason or a rhyme
Well I'm tired and I′m blue
Lord knows, I′ve been missin' you
I′m headin' back to that West Texas line
Well, I′m headin' back to that West Texas line

Oh, Oklahoma, you′ve been on my mind
Not a bad one
