Share Me With Texas
(Steve Gillette)

You're gonna have share me with Texas
You're gonna have to let me take my time.
From the honky tonks in Dallas
     To the banks of the Pedernales
Wherever that county two lane road may wind.

You're gonna have to leave me to the wildflowers
When I can't get that highway off my mind.
You're gonna have to share me with Texas,
'Cause I can't leave Texas behind.

I do, love you,
And Babe, you know I'll always be true.
Just as long as I can wonder in the meadow down yonder
When that hill country moon comes shinin' through.
So, You're gonna have to take me
Where the traffic won't wake me
And hold me when you're so inclined.
You're gonna have to share me with Texas
'Cause I can't leave Texas behind.

Instrumental.

You're gonna have to find me with the fireflies
Starin' at the stars 'til I go blind.
You're gonna have to share me with Texas
'Cause I can't leave Texas behind.

You're gonna have to share me with Texas,
'Cause I can't leave Texas behind.
