Shootin' Star from Texas Songtext

von Wayne Hancock

Well i was playing guitar when i was just a lad. that swinging rhythm took a hold on me
When we hit that groove lord i feel like i belong. brother music and myself are family
Well i like living on this highway for many years it's been the way i've known
But no matter where i been, no matter where i roam, i'm a shootin star from texas
But the interstates my home.

Well lefty and hank williams lord they sure could sing
And i wore the needle off my phonograph.
Well i went looking for them. when i turned eighteen
And ever since i've worked to hone my craft

Well what a life i've got, i've paid to play them clubs
Meetin folks and seeing different towns
Aint never gonna stop doin what i love
Well i'll keep on till they lay me in the ground

Well i like living on this highway for many years it's been the way i've known
But no matter where i been, no matter where i roam, i'm a shootin star from texas
But the interstates my home.
