Texas Was You Lyrics
Jason Aldean
Ohio was a riverbank;
10 speed layin' in the weeds;
Cannonball off an old rope swing;
Long long summer days.
Tennessee was a guitar;
First big dream of mine.
If I made it, yeah, that'd be just fine.
I just wanted to play. I just wanted to play, but,
[Chorus:]
Texas was green eyes crying goodbye;
Was a long drive;
A heartache I'm still trying to get through.
Texas was you.
Carolina was a black car,
A big white number three.
California was a yellow jeep
Cruisin' down Big Sur.
Haha.
Georgia was a summer job.
'Bama was a spring break.
I got memories all over the place,
But only one still hurts. Only one still hurts like-
[Chorus:]
Texas was green eyes crying goodbye,
Was a long drive,
A heartache I'm still trying to get through.
Texas was you.
Texas was my whole life waving goodbye.
'Thought I'd die.
'A heartache I'm still trying to get through.
Texas was you.
It'll always be you.
10 speed layin' in the weeds;
Cannonball off an old rope swing;
Long long summer days.
Tennessee was a guitar;
First big dream of mine.
If I made it, yeah, that'd be just fine.
I just wanted to play. I just wanted to play, but,
[Chorus:]
Texas was green eyes crying goodbye;
Was a long drive;
A heartache I'm still trying to get through.
Texas was you.
Carolina was a black car,
A big white number three.
California was a yellow jeep
Cruisin' down Big Sur.
Haha.
Georgia was a summer job.
'Bama was a spring break.
I got memories all over the place,
But only one still hurts. Only one still hurts like-
[Chorus:]
Texas was green eyes crying goodbye,
Was a long drive,
A heartache I'm still trying to get through.
Texas was you.
Texas was my whole life waving goodbye.
'Thought I'd die.
'A heartache I'm still trying to get through.
Texas was you.
It'll always be you.
