Go down where the people say "y'all"

Sing a song with a friend

Might go back down to Texas, might go to somewhere that Ive never been

Get used to bein' alone

I'm tired of runnin' round lookin' for answers to questions that I already know
        Bb                                         F
I could build me a castle of memories just to have somewhere to go
