STOP BY TEXAS FIRST In 76 I packed my bags First road trip I’d ever had Grandpa took me to where he was raised God’s Country he would say I’ve never seen a man stand so proud as he Placed his feet upon that ground He said son you’ve got your whole life Out in front of you With some hard work and the Lord above There’s nothin you cannot do You’ll see starry skies, lovers eyes Some days go from bad to worse But before you find what your life designs I thought we’d stop by Texas first I’ve rolled through life since that day Doin things my own way With grandpa always on my mind And the Star of Texas in his eyes Yellow rose in his hard workin hands Southern smile always helped me understand When he said son you’ve got your whole life Out in front of you With some hard work and the Lord above There’s nothin you cannot do You’ll see starry skies, lovers eyes Some days go from bad to worse But before you find what your life designs I thought we’d stop by Texas first I’ve since found my place on this earth Accepted all for what it’s worth Grandpa’s days have come and gone But his memories linger on And when the Lord took his hand Before they reached that promised land He said son you’ve got a new life Out in front of you You’ve worked hard and shared your wealth of love Now there’s nothin more to do You’ve seen starry skies, lovers eyes Some days gone from bad to worse So before we climb to Heaven’s skies Ithought we’d stop by Texas first © 2004 DaSwede Publishing (BMI
