Lyrics
If all my heart's in Texas, won't you take me to the one I love
If my emotional center is in Texas, guide me to my beloved
Won't you help me to the one I love, my sweet darlin'
Seek assistance in reaching the one I love, my dear
All my brains are up north, can I keep them there a while
My intellectual thoughts are elsewhere; can they remain there for a while?
You can toss them in a big ole pile, my sweet darlin'
You can discard them casually, my dear
But I'll keep my lungs, got to have me a little fun
Retain my lungs; I need enjoyment, like smoking in the sun without a specific purpose
Smoking cigarettes in the sun, like I've got somethin' to say
Indulging in cigarettes, seemingly expressing myself
Cuz I'd sell the last of me just to be taken seriously
Expressing willingness to sacrifice everything to be taken seriously
I'd sell the last of me to swim again in your sea
Expressing a willingness to sell the last part of oneself to experience the depth of a relationship
Sell the last of me
Reiterating the readiness to sell the last part of oneself
You can take my tongue, won't have to taste to get drunk
Offering one's tongue for the sake of avoiding the taste and getting intoxicated
Toss it in your daddy's trunk and drive away
Suggesting putting the tongue in a trunk and leaving, emphasizing detachment
But please do not take my ears, for then I'd be truly alone
Pleading not to take away the ability to hear, as complete isolation would be undesirable
Might as well pick out my headstone and cry over bones
Contemplating a scenario where losing hearing would lead to accepting mortality and grieving
And you'll never take my wit, no that's something I'll stick with
Asserting the importance of wit, a quality worth fighting for
I'd fight for it in a big bloody pit, its dying with me
Expressing a willingness to fight fiercely for one's wit, even if it leads to demise
Cuz I'd sell the last of me just to be taken seriously
Reiteration of the willingness to sacrifice everything for the sake of being taken seriously
I'd sell the last of me to swim again in your sea
Reiteration of the willingness to sell the last part of oneself for a profound connection
Sell the last of me
Repeating the readiness to sell the last part of oneself
If all my hearts in Austin, won't you take me to one I love
If my emotional center is in Austin, assist me in reaching the one I love
Won't you help me to the one I love, my sweet darlin'
Seek assistance in reaching the one I love, my dear
