- Chorus -

Ship my body back to Texas if I die out on the trail

I won't worry where they bury me, just put me in the mail

Lay me down in cowtown where I'll never be alone

Or pushin' up the rose of San Antone



Lookin' for some greener grass, I left my lone star home

Put my trust in wanderlust, struck out for parts unknown

I tried California where it's sunny all the time

But someone dug up all the gold in '49



(Repeat Chorus)



I headed for Alaska, where I thought I'd change my luck

But the nights are long and cold and lunch can cost a hundred bucks

They're shuttin' down the motor town, the lights at night aren't pretty

And you can't walk the streets of New York City



(Repeat Chorus)



I spent my last ten dollars drinkin' rum down in the Keyes

Shipped aboard a freighter and I've seen more than seven seas

'Cause one square mile of ocean looks just like the one next to it

If I could find my way back home, I'd do it



(Repeat Chorus)



Now, plant me in the parking lot outside the Astrodome

Or pushin' up the rose of San Antone

  • After All
    "There's a parking lot where the corner cafe stood
    One of the places we first fell in love
    They've built a waterslide on the bluff by the riverside
    Where we first fumbled our way into love..."
  • Blue Bayou
    "I feel so bad I've got a worried mind I'm so lonesome all the time
    Since I left my baby behind on Blue Bayou
    Saving nickels and saving dimes working till the sun don't shine
    Looking forward to happier times on Blue Bayou..."
  • Girls, Women And Ladies
    "There was only me and her and him
    The bar was giving last call so I thought I'd move on in
    And I was slick and feeling like a man so I took the stool between 'em
    And ordered one more round for me and her and him..."
  • Give More Than You Take
    "If you wanna keep a love young always show her that you care
    Call her through the day to say you love her always thinking of her
    Give her just a little more love than you take
    If you sometimes seem to hurt her then you mustn't let love die..."
  • Growing Up
    "Words & Music by
    Ed Bruce and Phil O'Donnell
    Second day of third grade, Three Oaks Elementary
    She sat in the first row, I was all the way across the room..."
  • Her Sweet Love And The Baby
    "Soft rain kissing the fallen leaves night wind harmonizing with whispering trees
    Of pretty sounds I've heard the sweetest I think maybe
    Is when she sings to the baby
    I look around at riches by which some men measure..."
  • I Know Better
    "I could tell you that it don't hurt you're leavin' me
    And I could say it never really matter the way you've always treated me
    Baby I could lie to you some more and say I won't cry when you walk out back door
    But I know better..."
  • If I Could Just Go Home
    "Oh Lord if I could just go home I'd do things different from now on
    There wouldn't be near the gray in my old daddy's hair
    Oh Lord if I could just go home
    I know it wasn't daddy's fault that mama died when I was just a kid..."
