Red Steagall - Under The X In Texas lyrics

rate me

I'm a sittin' here with a map, laid out on my lap

Now there's not too many places that I ain't been

But the one place I love best, is spread out all over the west

And I'm tryin' to figure how to get back home again

I wish I was sittin' right under the X in Texas

Right in the heart of where my heart must be

No matter where I roam I never feel at home, ‘cept in Texas

Under the “X” in Texas, is the only place for me

Now I don't know what I miss the most

The hills out west or the southern coast

Or, bein’ where a man can see for miles and miles

Those east Texas hills with the tall pine trees

Or the great state plaine with the prairie breeze

Or maybe I'm lonesome to see a Texas smile

Now I aint got nothin’ againt the rest

But why settle for less when you know what’s best

Under the “X” in Texas is the only place for me
