Texas Tea
Journey through Broken Trails: Caleb Caudle's Texas Tea Story
Lyrics
Another birthday came and went
Reflecting on another passing year
Got a late check out at The Lonestar Inn
Extended stay at The Lonestar Inn
Amarillo in the snow
Recalling a snowy scene in Amarillo
You never know until you go
Emphasizing the uncertainty of outcomes without taking risks
I was sliding with a windshield cracked
Describing a precarious situation with a cracked windshield
All of a sudden like a heart attack
An unexpected and sudden life-changing event
The storm of life went and sent me spinning
The turbulence of life causing disorientation
Now I'm broken
Expressing a state of emotional brokenness
Now I'm tired
Conveying weariness and exhaustion
The night is dark as Texas tea
Using dark Texas tea as a metaphor for the night's obscurity
I studied lips of liars
Being cautious and observant, especially regarding deceit
I always know who to believe
Confident in discerning the truth from falsehood
Some places are worth leaving
Recognizing that certain places are better left behind
Some mountains are worth climbing
Acknowledging that some challenges are worth facing
And some love is worth finding
Affirming the value of genuine and worthwhile love
Well I never quite could sit still
Restlessness and a tendency to avoid staying in one place
Pecan pie in a windowsill
Symbolizing a simple pleasure amid solitude
Years alone by a creek I sat
Years spent in isolation, contemplating by a creek
Feeling like a baptized cat
Feeling cleansed or renewed, akin to a baptized cat
There wasn't anything anyone could do
A sense of helplessness or lack of control
Wasn't anything anyone could say
Unalterable circumstances with no remedy
Once I heard the highway call my name
Responding to an irresistible call of the open road
Now I'm broken
Reiterating emotional brokenness and fatigue
Now I'm tired
Continued exhaustion and weariness
The night is dark as Texas tea
Night portrayed as dark and mysterious as Texas tea
I studied lips of liars
Observing and deciphering dishonesty through lip-reading
I always know who to believe
Confident discernment of truth from falsehood
Some places are worth leaving
Repeating the idea that certain places are better left
Some mountains are worth climbing
Reiterating the value of facing certain challenges
And some love is worth finding
Reaffirming the worthiness of genuine love
I'm driving home through Tennessee
Returning home through Tennessee with memories
Pockets full of memories
Carrying emotional baggage and experiences
I belong back by the creek
Feeling a sense of belonging near a familiar creek
The ones I love within my reach
Being close to loved ones, both physically and emotionally
I wouldn't dare call it running away
Rejecting the notion of escapism, asserting a natural inclination for pursuit
I was born for the chase
Embracing a dynamic and adventurous nature
When I get home I'll be drenched in the moonlight
Anticipating a return bathed in the enchantment of moonlight
Now I'm broken
Reiterating emotional brokenness and fatigue
Now I'm tired
Continued exhaustion and weariness
The night is dark as Texas tea
Night portrayed as dark and mysterious as Texas tea
I studied lips of liars
Observing and deciphering dishonesty through lip-reading
I always know who to believe
Confident discernment of truth from falsehood
Some places are worth leaving
Repeating the idea that certain places are better left
Some mountains are worth climbing
Reiterating the value of facing certain challenges
And some love is worth finding
Reaffirming the worthiness of genuine love
