Don't Mess With Texas
Jordan T Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't usually do this kind of thing
But I will make you an exception to my rule
Free flying moments in the air
There's not enough time in this night
You look like someone I could care about

Everybody's warning me
Just never mess with Texas
But I got this feeling in my chest
like a rodeo show and I'll never let it go
When the winds are right
We'll sail to the end of the world
In the middle of the night
Shoot like starts through the milky way,
This is only a sliver what I got to say (What I got to say)

I see you in all kinds of pictures in my head
Wanna tell you that this feeling that I feel just ain't dead
It's flying through the sky in my dream's tonight
This is uncertainty will make it that much sweeter
When the day comes along when I can show you my heart
You look like someone I can care about

Bridge
Sail to the end of the world yeah
See you in the pictures of my head




Sail to the end of the world
I will give you my love
