Texas Plains
Rediscovering Home: Embracing the Spirit of the Texas Plains
Lyrics
Every night in my dreams somehow it seems
Expressing a recurring experience of being in a familiar place in dreams.
That I'm back where I belong
Feeling a sense of belonging in the dreamed-of place.
I'm just a cow hen from Rio Grande
Identifying oneself as a cowhand from Rio Grande, emphasizing roots.
Back where I was born
Desiring to return to the place of birth.
Now the city lights and the city ways
Expressing dissatisfaction with city lights and ways affecting mental well-being.
They're drivin' me insane
City life causing distress or frustration.
I wanna be alone I wanna be back home
Desiring solitude and a return to the home environment.
Back on the Texas plains
Longing to be back on the Texas plains.
I wanna drink my java from an old tin can
Expressing a desire for a simple, rustic lifestyle, symbolized by drinking coffee from an old tin can.
While the moon comes shinin' high
Enjoying the serene atmosphere with the moon shining high.
I wanna hear the call of a whippoorwill
Yearning for the sounds of nature, like the call of a whippoorwill.
I wanna hear a coyote cry
Expressing a desire to hear the distinctive sound of a coyote's cry.
I wanna feel my saddle horse between my legs
Expressing a longing for the physical sensation of riding a saddle horse on the range.
Riding him out on the range
Desiring to experience the freedom and pride associated with riding a horse.
Just to kick him in the sides make him show his step and pride
Expressing the desire to actively engage with the horse by kicking it and witnessing its distinctive steps.
Back on the Texas plains
Reiterating the longing to be back on the Texas plains.
I wanna hear the thunder as it booms and rolls
Expressing a desire to hear the powerful sound of thunder, emphasizing a connection to natural elements.
I wanna feel the rain in my face
Desiring to feel the rain on the face, symbolizing a connection to the earth and its elements.
Just a thousand miles from the city lights
Being far from city lights, embracing a cowboy lifestyle and values.
Drawin' a cowboy ways
Reinforcing the cowboy way of life as opposed to urban influences.
I wanna sleep at night beneath the stars above
Desiring the simplicity of sleeping under the stars, away from urban complexities.
While the moon goes climbin' high
Embracing the tranquil night with the moon climbing high.
I wanna cook my coffee over cactus coves
Expressing a desire to engage in basic, rustic activities like cooking coffee over cactus coals.
Fifty miles from town
Choosing a location far from town, emphasizing a preference for isolation.
Out on the Texas plains
Reiterating the desire to be on the Texas plains, encapsulating the overall theme of the song.
