[00:00:00] Texas In My Rear View Mirror (Bonus Track) - Mac Davis

[00:00:12] I was just fifteen and outta control

[00:00:16] Lost to James Dean and rock and roll

[00:00:19] I knew down deep in my country soul

[00:00:22] That I had to get away

[00:00:25] Hollywood was a lady in red

[00:00:28] Who danced in my dreams

[00:00:29] As I tossed in bed

[00:00:31] I knew I'd wind up

[00:00:33] In jail or dead

[00:00:35] If I had to stay

[00:00:36] I thought happiness

[00:00:38] Was Lubbock Texas

[00:00:40] In my rear view mirror

[00:00:43] My momma kept calling me home

[00:00:46] But I just did not want to hear her

[00:00:49] And the vision was getting clearer

[00:00:52] In my dreams

[00:00:56] So I laid out one night in June

[00:00:59] Stoned on the glow of the Texas moon

[00:01:02] Humming an old Buddy Holly tune

[00:01:05] Called Peggy Sue

[00:01:08] With my favorite jeans

[00:01:09] And a cheap guitar

[00:01:11] I ran off chasing a distant star

[00:01:14] If Buddy Holly could make it that far

[00:01:18] I figured I could too

[00:01:20] And I thought happiness

[00:01:22] Was Lubbock Texas

[00:01:23] In my rear view mirror

[00:01:27] My momma kept calling me home

[00:01:30] But I just did not want to hear her

[00:01:33] And the vision was getting clearer

[00:01:36] In my dreams

[00:01:40] But the Hollywood moon didn't

[00:01:42] Smile the same old smile

[00:01:44] That I'd grown up with

[00:01:46] The lady in red

[00:01:48] Just wanted my last dime

[00:01:53] And I cried myself to sleep at night

[00:01:56] Too dumb to run too scared to fight

[00:01:59] And too proud to admit it at the time

[00:02:06] So I got me some gigs on Saturday nights

[00:02:09] Not much more than orchestrated fights

[00:02:12] I'd come home drunk and I'd try to write

[00:02:16] But the words came out wrong

[00:02:19] Hell bent and bound for a wasted youth

[00:02:22] Too much gin and not enough vermouth

[00:02:25] And no one to teach me

[00:02:27] How to seek the truth

[00:02:28] Before I put it into song

[00:02:30] I still thought happiness

[00:02:32] Was Lubbock Texas

[00:02:33] In my rear view mirror

[00:02:37] My momma kept calling me home

[00:02:39] But I just could not would not hear her

[00:02:44] And the vision was getting clearer

[00:02:47] In my dreams

[00:02:51] Well I thank God each and every day

[00:02:54] For giving me the music and words to say

[00:02:57] I'd-a never made it any other way

[00:03:00] He was my only friend

[00:03:03] Now I sleep a little better at night

[00:03:06] When I look in the mirror

[00:03:08] In the morning light

[00:03:10] The man I see was both wrong and right

[00:03:12] He's going home again

[00:03:17] I guess happiness was Lubbock Texas

[00:03:19] In my rear view mirror

[00:03:24] But now happiness is Lubbock Texas

[00:03:26] Growing nearer and dearer

[00:03:31] And the vision is getting clearer

[00:03:33] In my dreams

[00:03:37] And I think I finally know

[00:03:39] Just what it means

[00:03:44] And when I die you can bury me

[00:03:50] In Lubbock Texas in my jeans
