Album: Small Graces
Her daddy was a preacher
Her mama was a preacher's wife
And she carries around that heritage
Like a burden on her life
A head full of "do's and don'ts"
And a rebel heart full of "will's and won'ts"
In the great Lone Star State
She fights that battle all alone
Just a young girl in a hurry
To try most everything
And she picked the lock of her prison cell
With a shiny wedding ring
And when paradise came to a screeching halt
They were both to blame
But it was no-one's fault
And now she waits in the Lone Star State
For history not to repeat
And leave her all alone
Then I come from California
With my heart out on my sleeve
I won't take "no" for an answer
'Cause I'm desperate to believe
If I try a little harder
Or I just wait long enough
She might change her mind about me
And reward me with her love
But how mature our conversations
And the list of reasons why
We will never be together
How it's better not to try
She loves me, but she's not in love
And yet I can't stop thinking of
The Lone Star State
And a twist of fate
That still has me turning all around
Across the miles that separate
The illusion from the real
I am just a refugee
Between the things I think and feel
And I dream of a never-can-be world
Where I win the heart of a Texas girl
Sometimes I hate the Lone Star State
When I'm a thousand miles to the left
And feeling all alone
Oh sometimes I hate the Lone Star State
When I'm feeling all alone
