lyrics
Lyrics:
Same old streets, same old days, same wasted nights
It's cold in this city baby, even in July
Nothing ever came easy
What I earned didn't come for free
If the wind gonna switch
and the storm gonna come
let it rain down over me
Anybody want to go to Texas,
play in a rock n' roll band?
Anybody want to roll like the wind on the road
on a string of one night stands?
Anybody sick and tired of heartache?
Are you looking for a different kind?
Anybody want to go to Texas,
because I'm leaving here tonight
I'm tired of the righteous talking
and I'm tired of the easy lies
I'm a brass-balled loudmouthed bitch
I'd never compromise
Bring that Blue Norther,
I know I'll get by
Turn the van around now,
head it south down 35
I know that prayers upon the wind
they don't mean anything
They don't mean anything at all
It ain't where you're from
but where you land my love
when you find a better place to fall
And you'll fall ...
Anybody want to go to Texas,
because I'm leaving here this time
Same old streets, same old days, same wasted nights
It's cold in this city baby, even in July
Nothing ever came easy
What I earned didn't come for free
If the wind gonna switch
and the storm gonna come
let it rain down over me
Anybody want to go to Texas,
play in a rock n' roll band?
Anybody want to roll like the wind on the road
on a string of one night stands?
Anybody sick and tired of heartache?
Are you looking for a different kind?
Anybody want to go to Texas,
because I'm leaving here tonight
I'm tired of the righteous talking
and I'm tired of the easy lies
I'm a brass-balled loudmouthed bitch
I'd never compromise
Bring that Blue Norther,
I know I'll get by
Turn the van around now,
head it south down 35
I know that prayers upon the wind
they don't mean anything
They don't mean anything at all
It ain't where you're from
but where you land my love
when you find a better place to fall
And you'll fall ...
Anybody want to go to Texas,
because I'm leaving here this time
