Texas
Waylon Jennings Johnny Cash Kris Kristofferson & Willie Nelson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And if you want to sing along
It's about where I belong
Texas
Sometimes far into the night
And until the morning light
I pray with all my might
It's where I want to be
The only place for me
Where my spirit can be free
Texas
It's where I want to be
The only place for me
Where my spirit can be free
Texas
Listen to my song
And if you want to sing along
Its about where I belong
Texas
The lyrics of this song are a simple but powerful expression of the strong attachment and pride that the four legendary country music artists - Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, and Kris Kristofferson - have towards Texas. The song describes how Texas is the only place where they feel they truly belong, where their spirit can be free, and where they can connect with their roots and heritage. The first verse invites the listener to join in and sing along, a symbol of the universality of the love for Texas.
In the second verse, the song suggests that this deep feeling of belonging is so strong that it can even drive one to pray for it. The word "pray" is significant as it nods towards the religiousness of Texas, which is a state that has a strong Christian culture, and is sometimes referred to as the "Bible Belt". The use of the word "night" and "morning light" also conjures up images of the vast Texan skies, which are known for their vibrant colors and breathtaking sunrises and sunsets. This verse reinforces the idea that Texas is not only a geographical place, but also a state of mind and a spiritual home.

Listen to my song
Pay attention to the words I am speaking with melody
And if you want to sing along
If you feel what I feel, join your voice with mine
It's about where I belong
This song is a tribute to my true home
Texas
Abode of my heart
Sometimes far into the night
On occasion until the break of dawn
And until the morning light
Till the sun rises over the horizon
I pray with all my might
I plead with sincerity and passion
To be in Texas
To reside in the land of my dreams
It's where I want to be
My heart longs for the Lone Star State
The only place for me
No other place satisfies my soul like Texas
Where my spirit can be free
In Texas, my soul is emancipated to explore its true potential
Texas
My true north
It's where I want to be
My heart longs for the Lone Star State
The only place for me
No other place satisfies my soul like Texas

This one is for Orio Palmer, Batallion 7 Chief of FDNY.
I was a fire chief.
Into the Towers I did go.
And my fear I did not show,
We looked for survivors among the smoke and all the flames,
We refused to leave if someone still remained.
And there we stayed until the Towers fell to the ground.
But I am still around.
Rest in peace, Chief Palmer. You are remembered.

I played this song for a few friends. None of them liked it. Clearly, I need new friends.
