"Try Texas" lyrics

Diesels high as Willie
An honest man can't afford an acre
It's all bad news on the TV
And nobody knows their neighbors

I need a mile long drive with a gravel road cloud
Where I know my kids are safe when the sun goes down

Virginia's got their lovers but I'm looking at mine right now
And Colorado gets you Rocky Mountain high I've been trying come back down
Is it Georgia, Cali, Michigan
Where does an outlaw like me fit in
Tennessee will always be right where I left it
So maybe I'll try Texas

I wanna stand tall for the anthem
Hats off hand over my heart
And I want my kids to say yes sir and yes ma'am
Oh, and that's a damn good place to start

I heard Virginia's got their lovers but I'm looking at mine right now
And Colorado gets you Rocky Mountain high I've been trying come back down
Is it Georgia, Cali, Michigan
Where does an outlaw like me fit in
Tennessee will always be right where I left it
So maybe I'll try Texas

I want a place that I can breathe in
Countin' stars and countin' blessings
Loving family, lovin' Jesus
But buddy that's something you don't mess with

Virginia's got their lovers but I'm looking at mine right now
And Colorado gets you Rocky Mountain high but I've been trying come back down
Is it Georgia, Cali, Michigan
Where does an outlaw like me fit in
Tennessee will always be right where I left it
So maybe I'll try Texas

Mmm, maybe I'll try... so maybe I'll try Texas
