Like new summer wine
We were green in our time
And the yellow rose
never smelled better
But like the weeds in the road
Armadillos , horned toads
The truth was spelled out in the letter
You know some days are just fine
Others will find that your lying
But most of the time
you're barbed wiring
Well the rains came on down
Washed away most of the town
I found you boarding the bus to Dallas
You said you gave it a go
It's time to go with the flow
Then I watched the bus
dissappear with sadness
Well the high plain's never tame
Life's not long there for the lame
And one can drown in the dust
of your sorrow
You can ride on and mend
But you will never be able
to bend
The land or the will that's known as Texas
So goodbye my dear friend
You can write but I'll never send
I'll be waiting for you
at the nexus
