West Texas Sun Lyrics - Ghost In The Music - Nanci Griffith

Wash away the tears, all the angry times we shared 

All the feelings and the sorrows, come and gone 

We have let them slip away, because I'm standing here today 

And I'm smiling at your old west Texas sun 

I remember times when you'd weathered out my mind 

But you always had a peaceful word to say 

And you could always bring a smile, mischief in your eyes 

Still, I'm glad the miles keep me separate from your games 

You know you're still as wild as those old west Texas plains 

Standing by the highway, do you still call my name? 

Lord, I can't believe it's been such a long, long time 

Since I've seen that Texas boy smile 

Well, I'll be heading out of town, I may stop by next time around 

Hell, it's raining, but at least that's something real 

I came shackled down, with fears about our dreams and wasted years 

And now I know exactly how to feel
