Texas Was Clean Lyrics - One Lost Day - Indigo Girls

Texas was clean, just an oilman's dream 

A slate that I'd never written on 

Dust blowing' round a lonely town 

Boots on the board of a barn 

As far from the south without getting out 

The corner of my heart 

All this born in the powder and the horn 

The feather on the gridded green 

The brown and the white, the rich and the poor 

Taking the hit for the team

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

And the horse they rode was a merry soul 

Flickering on my bed post at night 

Hey I wanna go, Hey I wanna go, Hey I wanna go (It's just another place to go) 

I wanna go there (It's just another place to go) 

And hey I wanna go, Hey I wanna go, Hey I wanna go (It's just another place to go) 

I wanna go there (It's just another place to go) 

And the horse they rode was a merry soul 

I knew you for a moment or two 

In a life that seems to just expand 

In the Austin night under vapor lights 

You laughed at me then you took me in

On the day of the dead in a circle we said 

The names oh, in the corner of our hearts 

Hey I wanna go, Hey I wanna go, Hey I wanna go (It's just another place to go) 

I wanna go there (It's just another place to go) 

And hey I wanna go, Hey I wanna go, Hey I wanna go (It's just another place to go) 

I wanna go there (It's just another place to go) 

I wanna go there and 

Hey I wanna go, Hey I wanna go, Hey I wanna go (It's just another place to go) 

I wanna go there (It's just another place to go) 

As far from the south without getting out
