Bluebonnet Highway lyrics

[Verse 1]
I was born September 1st in the little town outside Fort Worth
I grew up there till I was 17
I moved to the city with my guitar, a traveler's song, and a wild heart
The buildings seemed to reach to the sky

[Chorus]
Long live the glory days
Where nothing stood in my way
The world was an open range
A bluebonnet-covered highway

[Verse 2]
I found myself in Near Southside, the Fairmount girls were awfully nice
I was livin' fast and drinkin' cheap
I said goodbye at 23, the Dallas lights were calling me
A wayward son, rolling on a dimе
Yeah

[Chorus]
Long live the glory days
Whеre nothing stood in my way
The world was an open range
A bluebonnet-covered highway

[Bridge]
I left Dallas at 25 to see mountains and valleys, mesquites turn into pine
I saw it all down the wandering road, but Texas, my Texas, you will always be home
[Outro]
Long live the glory days
Where nothing stood in my way
The world was an open range
A bluebonnet-covered highway
Long live the glory days
Where nothing stood in my way
The world was an open range
A bluebonnet-covered highway
