lyrics

It's wintertime in Texas
with all the golds and the greens
when our heads fill up with cedar
unless we keep our noses clean
it sure is nice to look at
it doesn't get too cold
so I say let's stay in Texas
and let ourselves grow old

we got ourselves a new view
our eyes out to the hills
a house of stone, a little land, a new view
got some dirt upon our hands
we got ourselves a new view
it's a little further out
cleared a space out of my head
bring me water for the drought

Oh but when I take you in
we fall in line
it feels like coming home to me
every time
