Lyrics
Texas Soul It don’t matter what story you tell ’long as it’s three chords and the t The less you say, - the more they’ll hear To each one it means something new Be it a Country ballad so sad The blues or some rock and roll Just keep it real - tell em how you feel And bare em your Texas Soul The tortured poet we all long to be He was the highway kind He longed to live - and to fly free But he was waiting around to die That desperado waiting for his train He was my coat from the cold That Guy taught me - the stuff that works Nothing less than your Texas Soul Interlude It’s a yearning from deep down inside There’s nothing that you can do A concert stage - or campfire tune They want a small piece of you You can fake it for money and fame Lot’s of “bro’s” crossed that line But here’s the deal - if it’s not real It’ll fade with winds of time That hero of those old honky tonks Speaks for us all somehow He’s just an old - chunk of coal But he will live forever now And that red headed stranger, Lord Who changed all the rules and roles He’ll always be - on our minds Cause he gave his Texas Soul Interlude It don’t matter what story you tell ’long as it’s three chords and the t The less you say, - the more they’ll hear To each one it means something new Be it a Country ballad so sad The blues or some rock and roll Just keep it real - tell em how you feel And bare em your Texas Soul © 2017 ITSMYSONG MUSIC (ASCAP) All Rights Reserved
