Colorado is too cold 
 The snow gets the best of me 
 Just laying there beside the fire place 
 Looks like where you otta be 
 And oklahoma is to rich 
 With american history 
 Its kind funny how it reminds me 
 Of all those books you use to read 
 And if i stay gone much longer 
 Might really go insane 
 Cause no matter where i go 
    Ill just be missing you in a texas kind of way 
 I keep seeing you in houston 
 Down in matagorda bay 
 And up on 6th street in austin 
 At the rodeo in santa fe   
 Might as well just lock me up in huntsville 
 If your memories here to stay 
 Cause no matter where i go 
 Ill just be missing you in a texas kind of way   
 And new yorks got all them nights 
 Well its the city that never sleeps 
 Detroit can sure build me a fast car to try 
 And out run your memories 
 Montana skies go on for miles 
 Like the love you said you had for me 
 But if i keep writing all these sad songs 
 Might as well just stay in tenessee   
 And i keep seein you in houston 
 Down at matagorda bay 
 And up on 6th street in austin 
 At the rodeo in santa fe   
 Might as well just lock me up in huntsville 
 If your memories is here to stay 
 Cause no matter where i go 
 Ill just be missin you in a texas kind of way   
 Here we go   
 And ill keep seeing you in houston 
 And down at matagorda bay 
 And up on 6th street in austin 
 At the rodeo in santa fe   
 Might as well just lock me up in huntsville 
 If your memories here to stay 
 Cause no matter where i go   
 Ill just be missing you in a texas kind of way   
 Oohhh no matter where i go   
 Ill just be missin you in a texas kind of way
