Lyrics
Oh my sweet Texas,
I miss you so,
oh my sweet Texas,
so long ago.
You were my brother,
you were my mother,
oh Texas lo.
Oh my sweet Texas,
I miss your soul,
oh my sweet Texas,
so long so ago.
You were brother,
you were my lover.
Time is like a freight train,
though I don't know where it goes,
Lord who knows, no use smiling 'bout the good times.
Time is like a freight train,
though I don't know where it goes,
Lord who knows, no use sighing about the bad.
Oh my sweet Texas,
I miss your soul,
oh my sweet Texas,
so long ago.
You were my brother,
you were my mother,
oh Texas lo.
Time is like a freight train,
though I don't know where it goes,
Lord who knows, no use crying 'bout the bad times.
Time is like a freight train,
lord who knows, no use crying 'bout the bad times, no use sighing 'bout the good.
