I’ll Take You Back To Texas
(Chorus)
I'll take you back to Texas if it's the last thing I do
I know you hated leavin' but it's a temporary move
I got to make a living for the kids and you.. but
I'll take you back to Texas if it's the last thing I do
Drove through Oklahoma into no man's land
She kept looking in the mirror Back to where we'd been
The hardest thing I ever did was cross that Texas line
Twenty years have come and gone there's a promise on my mind
(Chorus)
I'll take you back to Texas if it's the last thing I do
I know you hated leavin' but it's a temporary move
I got to make a living for the kids and you.. but
I'll take you back to Texas if it's the last thing I do
(Bridge)
Each night I lay me down to sleep With a prayer on my lips
Lord help me keep my promise don't let me die like this
(Chorus)
Said I'd take her back to Texas if it's the last thing I do
I know she hated leavin' .. I know she hated to move ... but
I had to make a livin', that's the cold hard truth .. Lord let me
Take her back to Texas if it's the last thing that I do
Lord let me
Take her back to Texas if it's the last thing that I do
