See I was born and raised in Texas
And it means so much to me
Though my girl comes from down in Georgia
We were up in Tennessee
And as we were driving down the highway
She asked me baby what's so great
How come you're always going on
About your Lone Star State
I said that's right you're not from Texas
That's right you're not from Texas
That's right you're not from Texas
But Texas wants you anyway
That's right you're not from Texas
That's right you're not from Texas
That's right you're not from Texas
But Texas wants you anyway
My girl (from down in Florida) and I saw Lyle Lovett perform at Red Rocks on Friday night. His opening act was k.d. lang. Not a bad pair to go see. Concerts are Red Rocks are great! I encourage everyone who loves live music to make the trip to Morrison, CO to take in a show. The temperature at show time was about 85, there was no humidity, there were no bugs and the entire amphitheater had the feel of a community festival.
One of the things that amazed me was that almost everyone in the audience seemed to run into someone they knew at the concert. That was really fun to watch.
In addition to getting to see and hear some really great music under a Colorado sky, I also confirmed something I've always thought. While I really miss being a Texan and all that conjures up, I do not miss living in Texas.
It was gorgeous in Morrison and great to be in Colorado.
You're a Texan always. Doesn't matter if you live within the state.
