Under The X In Texas (Celebrating With Friends, 2010)
Red Steagall - Under The X In Texas
I'm sittin' with a map lay out on my lap Now there's not too many places that I ain't been But the one place I love best is spread all over the west And I'm tryin' the bigger how to get back home again
I wish I was sittin' right under the X in Texas Right in the heart of where my heart must be But whenever I roam I never feel at home cept in Texas Under the X in Texas is the only place for me
[ guitar - steel - fiddle ] Now I don't know what I miss the most The hills out west or the southern coast Or be in where a man can sleep for miles for miles Those east Texas rivers with tall pine trees Or the great sneak plaines with prairie breeze But baby I'm lonesome to see a Texas smile I wish I was sittin' right under the X in Texas...
