Texas Was Clean - Indigo Girls

Texas was clean, just an oilman’s dream

A slate that I’d never written on

Dust blowing' round a lonely town

Boots on the board of a barn

As far from the south without getting out

The corner of my heart

All this born in the powder and the horn

The feather on the gridded green

The brown and the white, the rich and the poor

Taking the hit for the team

And the horse they rode was a merry soul

Flickering on my bed post at night

Hey I wanna go, Hey I wanna go, Hey I wanna go (It's just another place to go)

I wanna go there (It's just another place to go)

And hey I wanna go, Hey I wanna go, Hey I wanna go (It's just another place to

go)

I wanna go there (It's just another place to go)

And the horse they rode was a merry soul

I knew you for a moment or two

In a life that seems to just expand

In the Austin night under vapor lights

You laughed at me then you took me in

On the day of the dead in a circle we said

The names oh, in the corner of our hearts

Hey I wanna go, Hey I wanna go, Hey I wanna go (It's just another place to go)

I wanna go there (It's just another place to go)

And hey I wanna go, Hey I wanna go, Hey I wanna go (It's just another place to

go)

I wanna go there (It's just another place to go)

I wanna go there and

Hey I wanna go, Hey I wanna go, Hey I wanna go (It's just another place to go)

I wanna go there (It's just another place to go)

As far from the south without getting out
