This is the second song off my album "Unravel Me". I wrote this song in 1996 when I was driving from Dallas, TX back to San Diego, and I went through a blizzard.

lyrics

Texas Spring
-----------------
1
It’s April fifth and what a scene, from El Paso to Abilene.
The snow laid like a blanket thrown across the plains.

It was the spring of ninety-six, weather’s up to her same old tricks.
I’d gladly trade the sun for all this rain.

I’m on the road again...

2
I crossed from Texas to New Mexico, prob’ly sixteen more hours to go.
And this damn road just seems to go on and on.

It’s not a stranger anymore, I’ve been this way some times before.
Today the rain is fallin’ and I’m all alone.

I’m going home...

[Instrumental]

3
As I crossed the Great Divide, the sun came out and caught my eye.
But it’s just playin’ a game of hide and seek.

The Southern Pacific carries it’s load, lumbering off to parts unknown.
Tomorrow we will both be far from here.

I could use a beer...

4
Just outside the Arizona line, the sun came out one more time.
The sky was ablaze with the fire of a dying day.

Soon the darkness will envelope me, and write this page into history.
This is something that I will not soon forget.

On that I’d bet...
On that I’d bet...
On that I’d bet...
