Well they say home is where your heart is
Where all of your faults are pardoned
Where you sleep safe and sound and spend days around
The ones that you're in love with
When I'm missing home
If you wonder where I've gone
You can look me up, I'm probably in some run down truck
Loving life on the road
I spent twenty-four hours down in Austin
Two-stepped in San Marcos
I ate chicken and waffles with my friends in Houston
Met a girl in San Antone
Played debutante bars out in Huntsville
I saw Pat Green play George's Bar
And I buried my Papa in West Texarkana
I love my Texas Home
They say, boy you should move out to Nashville
Make records and buy fancy new clothes
But I've worked way too hard in my own back yard
To not taste all this fruit I've grown
And if they ask you where I've been
They can figure it out on their own
They can look me up, I'm playing tonight so wish me luck
With this gigging life on the road
I spent three days and nights down in Austin
Two-stepped in San Angelo
I ate chicken and waffles with my friends in Houston
Kissed a girl in San Antone
Played debutante bars out in Corpus
I sang Wagon Wheel at old Gruene Hall
And I buried my Papa in West Texarkana
I love my Texas Home
It's one-hundred and three god-forsaken degrees
And the breeze it feels half-amazing
But there's no place on Earth that I'd rather be
So I guess there's sense in complaining
That I spent most of September in Austin
Two-stepped in Roanoke
I ate chicken and waffles with my friends in Houston
Fell in love in San Antone
Played debutante bars out in Dallas
And I sang my songs at Meyerson Hall
And I buried my Papa in West Texarkana
I love my Texas Home
Yeah you're so good to see
Grab a drink and wipe your feet
Come on in to my Texas Home
Yeah that's why I call Texas Home
