lyrics

It makes sense that it’s Texas where I’m writing you this song
A state so big my heartache fits like dead grass fills the lawn
Tell the truth I didn’t think it’d go on for so long
Both Texas and this heartache, girl, they just keep rollin on

A thousand miles from Minnesota but it’s still the same time of day
So I wonder if you saw last night when I let my fingers stray
Didn’t mean to like your picture but you know it’s designed that way
To make me cringe and hit undo and pray you were away

Yeah it makes sense that it’s Texas where I’m writing you this song
About as far south as I could get without jumpin in the gulf
You know the Houston trees were pretty and the grackles caught my eye
But now I’m lonesome and I’m hurtin under a big blue Austin sky

Yes it makes sense that it’s Texas where I’d finally settle down
Enough to realize that movin on’s more than movin out of town
So I’ll put my heart into this song like so many have before
Yes it makes sense that it’s Texas where I’d remember what songs are for
Yes it makes sense that it’s Texas where I’d let you go some more
Yeah it makes sense that it’s Texas where I’d let you go a little more

Witness Minneapolis, Minnesota

Witness is a garage-country/jazz-fusion/rock-n-roll power trio from Minneapolis, MN. Our new travelogue album just passing through is a mix of full-band and solo arrangements of songs Gabe wrote while on a six-week solo road trip last year. Loud guitars and heavy drums intersperse with minimalist piano and banjo for a rollicking journey through heartbreak and back. ... more
