The Last Town in Texas
Journey of Love: Rediscovering Home Before the Last Town in Texas
Lyrics
Before Amarillo turns into Tucumcari
Expressing a sense of urgency before reaching Amarillo transforming into Tucumcari.
And the highway finally reaches Santa Fe
Highlighting the journey on the highway until it reaches Santa Fe.
I'm praying you decide that you still love me
An earnest plea for the listener to maintain their love despite challenges.
Before everything we had slips away
Fearing the loss of everything in the relationship if action is not taken.
If you ain't west of the brazos yet
Addressing those who haven't passed the Brazos River, suggesting they have time for reflection.
Then you still got time to think
Encouraging thoughtfulness before making a decision.
Don't ya let your heart forget
Emphasizing the importance of holding onto emotions.
You're the only one I need
Affirming the listener's significance in the singer's life.
Before you reach the last town in Texas
Setting a specific location, creating a symbolic threshold for a pivotal moment.
I hope that rearview shows you every memory
Expressing a hope for retrospection through the rearview mirror, capturing memories.
Before you reach the last town in Texas
Reiterating the desire for reflection before reaching a crucial point.
I hope you turn around and come back home to me
Asking for a return and reconciliation.
I know you got your reasons for leaving
Acknowledging the reasons for departure but expressing a longing for the person.
And I can be a drifter half way gone
Describing the singer's own inclination to wander but emphasizing the person's place in their life.
But you're in every song that I'm singing
Noting the person's presence in the singer's creative expression, especially in love songs.
And the heartbreak ones just ain't where you belong
Stating that heartbreak is not where the person belongs.
Before you reach the last town in Texas
Repeating the importance of reflecting before reaching a crucial location.
I hope that rearview shows you every memory
Reiterating the hope for the rearview mirror to evoke memories.
Before you reach the last town in Texas
Asking for a change of direction and a return home.
I hope you turn around and come back home to me
Expressing the desire for the person to come back.
If you ain't west of the brazos yet
Repeating the message for those who haven't crossed the Brazos River.
Then you still got time to think
Encouraging further contemplation before making a decision.
Don't ya let your heart forget
Reiterating the importance of remembering one's emotions.
You're the only one I need
Affirming the exclusivity of the person's role in the singer's life.
Baby please
Adding an emotional plea for the person to return.
Before you reach the last town in Texas
Repeating the hope for retrospection through the rearview mirror.
I hope that rearview shows you every memory
Reiterating the desire for memories to surface.
Before you reach the last town in Texas
Asking for a change of direction and a return home, echoing earlier sentiments.
I hope you turn around and come back home to me
Expressing the persistent desire for the person to come back.
Before Amarillo turns into Tucumcari
Returning to the urgency before Amarillo transforms, emphasizing the longing for the person.
I hope you turn around and come back home to me
Reiterating the hope for the person to return as Amarillo transforms.
