West Texas Sun - Nanci Griffith

Wash away the tears, all the angry times we shared

All the feelings and the sorrows come and gone

We have left 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 bring always bring a smile with the mischief in your eyes

Still, I’m glad the miles kept me separate from your games

You know you’re still as wild as those old 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

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

Smiling at your old west Texas sun
