From the banks of the Brazos to downtown Dallas.
I play my guitar until my fingers are calloused.
Just to take that drive with my stringbox loaded up.
To get people to listen and for myself to open up.

If I didn't have music I wouldn't be who I am.
My life would be empty and stuck in a jam.
Everything would be a fog and would be melancholy.
To not have this outlet would be my greatest folly.

I thank God for giving me my musical abilities.
I have to tear down the wall to show my qualites.
I have to take time alone to practice and rehearse.
To memorize every chord and memorize every verse.

I drive up to Dallas and the streets of downtown.
Business as usual and there are suits all around.
Not the competition like you see down in Austin.
I would be noticed and the folks would get to talkin'.

From the banks of the Brazos to downtown Dallas.
That's where I will take all of my soulful rhymes.
The music has been slow but I am at square one.
And I will not stop until the music is done.
