"West TX" lyrics

You say you know me well
But I don't even know myself
I'm trading all my problems for the bottle on the shelf
Baby, don't you know that I could make it if I tried
So I'm headed down to that West Texas line

Made it through Texola
Finally leaving Oklahoma
As my heart is on I-40, my tires on the ground
Straight through Amarillo
You've got teardrops on your pillow
As I'm passing through that West Texas town

Well, it's late and it's cold
And this bullshit's getting old
We can't find a reason or a rhyme
Well, I'm tired and I'm blue
Honey, I'm fed up with you
So I'm headed down to that West Texas line

Made a stop in Plainview
Thought I saw you in my rearview
As I pulled on over for a pack of smokes
Well, I lit one up and I burned it down
Threw a splash of Coke in my cup of Crown
Before I head on back down that West Texas road

And it's late and it's cold
And this bullshit's getting old
We can't find a reason or a rhyme
Well, I'm tired and I'm blue
Baby, I'm fed up with you
I'm headed down to that West Texas line

Get it
You know what I shoulda said, I shoulda said guitar
Give me some slacks now

Well, I got to where I'm going
Dusty winds, they ain't stop blowing
And the thought of you's still driving me insane
I'm headed back to Okie
Yeah, where everybody knows me
Yeah, I'm leaving these here West Texas plains

And it's late and it's cold
And I'm missing my home
Let's try to find us a reason or a rhyme
Well, I'm tired and I'm blue
Lord knows I've been missing you
I'm headed back to that West Texas line
Well, I'm headed back to that West Texas line
Ol' Oklahoma, you've been on my mind
