Texas Summer Night (Acoustic) Lyrics

Mesquite trees blow in a light breeze

Sun sets west past the barbed wire beams

Porch lights flickering

Prickly pears hidden under the weeds

Fireflies lighting the way into town

Bright as the Marlboro hanging out of my mouth

The birds quiet down

And only crickets seem to make a sound

When you see a shooting star on a night in May

The moon hangs in the sky as it shines right off the lake

Warm wind pushing a swing bench by the cabin lights

That's a Texas summer night

Colorado's got a wind chill

California don't sleep down in Beverly Hills

New Mexico's bare

And Chicago ain't quite as still

When you see a shooting star on a night in May

The moon hangs in the sky as it shines right off the lake

Warm wind pushing a swing bench by the cabin lights

That's a Texas summer night

And oh I wish I could have it back

Cause the suburbs filled with city lights

And houses tightly packed

When you see a shooting star on a night in May

The moon hangs in the sky as it shines right off the lake

Warm wind pushing a swing bench by the cabin lights

That's a Texas summer night

Warm wind pushing a swing bench by the cabin lights

Warm wind pushing a swing bench by the cabin lights

That's a Texas summer night
