West Texas

I seem to be missing my old friends. There is certainly something exciting about moving to a new place, meeting new people and finding kindred spirits, but today I miss the comfortable friendships from Texas. I love you, and hope you are doing well..


I see the rain a'comin' a mile ahead
With the lightning streaming like a golden thread
And the heat rises up from the rocks and the dirt
Like a sweet smelling woman in a twirling skirt
Mesmerizing me soothing my fears
While the rain falls so soft it's like tears

This is my home
This is my home
Any fool can visit
The wise will miss it
And it's home to me

There's a sweet wind whispering after the storm
And the earth is cold but the sun is warm
All the vast, empty spaces are filling my soul
They shatter my pride and swallow me whole
The night birds they sing me to bed
As the sleep-laden sun fades to red

This is my home
This is my home
Any fool can visit
The wise will miss it
But it's home to me

The stars are heavy with light
A gift for the travelers of night
Tomorrow I roam
But tonight I am home
Any fool can visit
The wise will miss it
And it's home to me
I'm the fool who visits
I am wise to miss it
And it's home
It's home to me
