Wash away the tears
|
All the angry times we shared
|
All the feelings and the
|
Sorrows come and gone
|
We have let them slip away
|
Because I'm standing here today
|
And I'm smiling at your old
|
West Texas sun
|
|
I remember times
|
When you'd weathered out my mind
|
But you always had a peaceful
|
Word to say
|
And you could always bring a smile
|
With the mischief in your eyes
|
Still, I'm glad the miles
|
Keep me separate from your games
|
|
You know you're still as wild
|
As those old west Texas plains
|
Standing by the highway
|
Do you still call my name?
|
Lord, I can't believe
|
It's been such a long, long time
|
Since I've seen that Texas boy smile
|
|
Well, I'll be heading out of town
|
I may stop by next time around
|
Hell, it's raining, but at least
|
That's something real
|
I came shackled down with fears
|
About our dreams and wasted years
|
And now I know exactly how to feel
|
|
Wash away the tears
|
All the angry times we shared
|
All the feelings and the
|
Sorrows come and gone
|
We have let them slip away
|
Because I'm standing here today
|
Smiling at your old west Texas sun
|
