Texas Lullaby Lyrics - Aaron Watson

He was just eighteen 

Full of fire and gasoline 

He was lean and mean 

And they called him Texas 

He went off to war 

To a far and distant shore 

He'd never left his home before 

He was from Texas 

As they stormed that beach one foggy summer day 

He said if I don't make it back promise me one thing

Take me home if I die 

When I'm gone don't ya cry 

Find some shade right beside a live oak tree 

Sing those old songs of faith 

I'll Fly Away, Amazing Grace 

But you find comfort knowing that my soul found peace 

And you can bury me beneath the deep blue skies of Texas 

Well she was just eighteen 

Prettiest thing he'd ever seen 

Like a real life beauty queen 

And someday she'd be his wife 

But for the next four years 

She fought back her tears 

While he fought back his fears 

Fightin' for his life

And in his darkest hours 

Her love would bring him a light 

He would read her letters 

He would pray at night 

Take me home if I die 

When I'm gone don't ya cry 

Find some shade right beside a live oak tree 

Sing those old songs of faith 

I'll Fly Away, Amazing Grace 

But you find comfort knowing that my soul found peace 

And you can bury me beneath the deep blue skies of Texas 

He always said the real heroes 

Never made it back home 

And though the war was long over 

You know for him it still lived on 

And it still lives on 

When he was eighty-three 

Still full of fire and gasoline 

He was still lean and mean 

And they still called him Texas 

And on the day he died 

She was right there by his side 

She held his hand as she softly sang his lullaby 

Take me home if I die 

When I'm gone don't ya cry 

Find some shade right beside a live oak tree 

Sing those old songs of faith 

I'll Fly Away Amazing Grace 

But you find comfort knowing that my soul found peace 

And you can bury me 

You can bury me 

You can bury me beneath the deep blue skies of Texas
