Lonestar Reverie: Nostalgia, Love, and Open Roads
Lyrics
Forget John Wayne and the Alamo

Them one horse towns and Palo Duro
Referencing small, unremarkable towns and Palo Duro, suggesting a desire for something more meaningful.
Them Indians never rode away with her
Reflecting on the idea that past challenges or conflicts did not separate the speaker and their significant other.
I miss those summer nights on a back road with you by my side hell I don’t know
