I Miss West Texas
Mike Graham


          D               G     
There's a place out in the desert
      D                         A    
Where oil flows and tumbleweeds roll
D                     G    
Sunsets they last for hours
        D          A            G        
And the moon has a dusty orange glow
         D          A            D            
Yeah the moon has a dusty orange glow

I moved away from those flatlands
For a place so lovely and green
Sometimes I feel all locked up inside
In all of the hills and the trees
Yeah in all of the hills and the trees

chorus

D           G     
I miss West Texas
       D                     A        
I miss being able to see for miles
        D        A       G            
But I'm stuck up here in Ft. Worth
      D            A         G               
And I haven't been west in a while
     D            A         D             
No I haven't been west in a while

I miss Friday night football
Where the band plays "Hawaii Five-O"
Sometimes I feel that I'm back in there
And I feel a warm south wind blow
Yes I feel that warm south wind blow

And I'm sure that you wouldn't be just duly impressed
If you hung out there any time
The sky's covered in dust, the rigs now are rust
But somehow it all makes me smile
I said somehow it all makes me smile

repeat chorus

I'm sure you feel the same way about your hometown
It's just something that you can't explain
Maybe because it's familiar
Like that smell in the air 'fore it rains
Yeah that smell in the air 'fore it rains

But the miles between me and my hometown
Made me realize
That it don't really matter where you're living
Home is a state of mind
I said home is a state of mind

repeat chorus
