Texarkana (demo) Songtext
Went to take a ride out in the county
Trying to forget about me and you
Made believe can′t you see
It's coming up a storm and I′m gone
Change the medium
Widen the road
Lessen a load
Went to take a ride out in the county
Trying to forget about me and you
I need to leave
Can't you see?
It's coming up a storm and I′m gone
Change the median
Widen the road
Lessen the load for you
When I′m there in Texarkana
Where's that county line?
Another county line
I can only see what′s in front of me
And you're not here
Riding out in the county
Trying to forget about me and you
Water in Neches River flooded
Washed the bridge away
Had to take a detour over the overpass
When I′m there in Texarkana
Where's that county line?
Another county line
I can only see what′s in front of me
And you're not here
I can only see what's in front of me
And you′re not here
Went to take a ride out in the county
Trying to forget about me and you
And I got stuck
Behind an 18 wheel truck
Flatbed
Two lanes carrying pine
When I′m there in Texarkana
Where's that county line?
Another county line
I can only see what′s in front of me
And you're not here
You are just a memory
You′re in my memory
And I can't see
Ten minutes
Ten hours
Ten days
Ten years
Ten miles
Ten-thousand miles away
Why can′t you see?
I need to leave
And you're not here
You're not here
Fixing to see so much clearer
Trying to forget about me and you
Made believe can′t you see
It's coming up a storm and I′m gone
Change the medium
Widen the road
Lessen a load
Went to take a ride out in the county
Trying to forget about me and you
I need to leave
Can't you see?
It's coming up a storm and I′m gone
Change the median
Widen the road
Lessen the load for you
When I′m there in Texarkana
Where's that county line?
Another county line
I can only see what′s in front of me
And you're not here
Riding out in the county
Trying to forget about me and you
Water in Neches River flooded
Washed the bridge away
Had to take a detour over the overpass
When I′m there in Texarkana
Where's that county line?
Another county line
I can only see what′s in front of me
And you're not here
I can only see what's in front of me
And you′re not here
Went to take a ride out in the county
Trying to forget about me and you
And I got stuck
Behind an 18 wheel truck
Flatbed
Two lanes carrying pine
When I′m there in Texarkana
Where's that county line?
Another county line
I can only see what′s in front of me
And you're not here
You are just a memory
You′re in my memory
And I can't see
Ten minutes
Ten hours
Ten days
Ten years
Ten miles
Ten-thousand miles away
Why can′t you see?
I need to leave
And you're not here
You're not here
Fixing to see so much clearer
