Iâm back on the highway
The time has come for heading home
My mind is so cloudy
And thereâs rain on the road
I feel like such a fool
For leaving my heart there with you
As I cross the Red River
It sure has got me feeling blue
And, babe, while Iâm away
Weâll be alone together
And your eyes, like the skies
Look like stormy weather
I donât know if itâs the miles
Or the time that wrecks us
Why does it always rain
When I leave Texas?
Darlin', I never meant
To fall so hard or so fast
And I surely never thought
That this love was made to last
But when I come back to you
I know the sun will light my way
When I leave I know my wheels
Will be whispering in the rain
And, babe, while Iâm away
Weâll be alone together
And your eyes, like the skies
Look like stormy weather
I donât know if itâs the miles
Or the time that wrecks us
Why does it always rain
When I leave Texas?
