The mirror, it broke on the wall
The old clock stopped in the hall
But I wasn't in need of a sign
To build me a new kind of life
Was I running away from it all?
Did I follow the sun when it called?
Was I looking for some peace of mind?
I didn't know what I was hoping to find
But my heart got bigger
The sun was hotter
The days grew longer
My hands grew stronger
I was lost before I wandered to Texas
Well, I came here with nothing to lose
The streets lined with blue bonnet blooms
Where nobody knows just where I've been
Where I found myself and I started again
And my heart got bigger
The sun was hotter
The days grew longer
My hands grew stronger
I was lost before I wandered to Texas
It's where my car and my ego died
Where a smile buys you drinks for the night
Where the cedars line the steep hillsides
And the blue lakes sparkle bright
They led my weary soul to better times
And my heart got bigger
The sun was hotter
The days grew longer
My hands grew stronger
I was lost before I wandered to Texas
