Take Me Back to Tulsa (Live) - George Strait

I dream in phosphorescence Bleed through spaces See you drifting past the fog But no one told you where to go We dive through crystal waters Perfect oceans But no one told me not to breathe And now the weightlessness recedes My, my, those eyes like fire I'm a winged insect, you're a funeral pyre Come now, bite through these wires I'm in waking hell and the gods grow tired Reset my patient violence along both lines of a pathway higher Grow back your sharpest teeth, you know my desire I will travel far beyond the path of reason Take me back to Eden Take me back to Eden Take me back to Eden Well, yeah, I spit blood when I wake up Sink porcelain stained, choking up brain matter and make-up Just two days since the mainframe went down and I'm still messed up Room feels like a meat freezer I dangle in like cold cuts Missed calls, answer phones from people I just don't trust Mirror talk, fake love But I'll take a pound of your flesh 'Fore you take a piece of my paystub White roses, black doves Godmother, rise up I need you to see me for what I have become My, my, those eyes like fire I'm a winged insect, you're a funeral pyre Come now, bite through these wires I'm in waking hell and the gods grow tired Reset my patient violence along both lines of a pathway higher Grow back your sharpest teeth, you know my desire I guess it goes to show, does it not? That we've no idea what we've got Until we lose it And no amount of love will keep it around If we don't choose it And I don't know what's got its teeth in me But I'm about to bite back in anger No amount of self-sought fury Will bring back the glory of innocence My, my, those eyes like fire I'm a winged insect, you're a funeral pyre Come now, bite through these wires I'm in waking hell and the gods grow tired Reset my patient violence along both lines of a pathway higher Grow back your sharpest teeth, you know my desire (When we were made) (It was no accident) (You know my desire) (We were tangled up like branches in a flood) I have traveled far beyond the path of reason Take me back to Eden Take me back to Eden

Take me out of this prison Back to the clear blue sky Take me back to the part where this cowboy's heart Want's to live 'til I die Take me back to the prairie Away from these cold prison bars By a campfire's gleam let me lie there and dream Under a blanket of stars Where each mountain top wears a halo Of fleecy white clouds overhead Where symphonies ring from birds on the wing And the grass is like a soft feather bed Take me back to the prairie Bach to the land I love best So that when I am gone I'll be where I belong There in my haven of rest

You only call me your baby When she wasn't there Now you go calling me crazy Because I don't care We'll never turn back time Now lovin' you is an after thought Too late to press rewind When all I want to do Do is sob I've got to break you free Don't know why you'd ever say love Knowing I'll never be enough Breaking the best part of me Well I don't let you do me like that Can't keep pulling you back to Me, me, me, me, me Can't keep pulling you back to Me, me, me, me, me I'll never trust you after The things that I saw Who wants an ever after If it ain't forever at all We'll never turn back time Now lovin' you is an after thought Too late to press rewind When all I want to do Do is sob I've got to break you free Don't know why you'd ever say love Knowing I'll never be enough Breaking the best part of me Well I don't let you do me like that Can't keep pulling you back to Me, me, me, me, me Can't keep pulling you back to Me, me, me, me, me You'll never be the one 'Cause it's not how it's supposed to be Won't pull you back Pull you back Pull you back to me I don't want your love Baby we were never meant to be It's not enough So your gonna have to break free You'll never be the one 'Cause it's not how it's supposed to be Won't pull you back Pull you back Pull you back to me I don't want your love Baby we were never meant to be It's not enough So your gonna have to break free I've got to break you free Don't know why you'd ever say love Knowing I'll never be enough Breaking the best part of me Well I don't let you do me like that Can't keep pulling you back to Me, me, me, me, me Can't keep pulling you back to Me, me, me, me, me You only call me your baby When she wasn't there

Take me to Texas Two hundred years ago Where a pride rose from the ashes of San Jacinto It still beats in every heart Like a battle cry Where I was born, where I was raised, so when I die Take me to Texas On the open range The Rio Grande is in my veins It's heaven there And so my prayer Is that you'll take me anywhere in Texas The only home I know I'm a child of the Alamo And the Yellow Rose So when I go Take me to Texas Where my daddy worked Where his blood and sweat and tears are still in that red dirt Wild Palominos run Cowboys are kings And if I stray too far, I'll let my Lone Star dreams Take me to Texas On the open range The Rio Grande is in my veins It's heaven there And so my prayer Is that you'll take me anywhere in Texas The only home I know I'm a child of the Alamo And the Yellow Rose So when I go Take me to Texas There's something in the sky And in your momma's eyes So even if you try to move away You'll end up on some road somewhere With your thumb up in the air When they ask you where you're headed, you'll say Take me to Dallas, Fort Worth, San Antone Houston, Laredo, Galveston Or Austin, maybe Abilene The closest thing I've ever seen To Heaven's the Gulf of Mexico I'm a child of the Alamo And the Yellow Rose So when I go Take me to Texas Mhmmm Take me to Texas Oh, take me to Texas Take me to Texas

You got a fast car I want a ticket to anywhere Maybe we make a deal Maybe together we can get somewhere Any place is better Startin' from zero, got nothing to lose Maybe we'll make something Me, myself, I got nothing to prove You got a fast car I got a plan to get us out of here I been working at the convenience store Managed to save just a little bit of money Won't have to drive too far Just across the border and into the city You and I can both get jobs Finally see what it means to be living See, my old man's got a problem He lives with the bottle, that's the way it is He says his body's too old for working His body's too young to look like his Mama went off and left him She wanted more from life than he could give I said, "somebody's got to take care of him" So I quit school and that's what I did You got a fast car Is it fast enough so we can fly away? Still gotta make a decision Leave tonight, or live and die this way So, I remember when we were driving, driving in your car Speed so fast, I felt like I was drunk City lights lay out before us And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder And I, I, had a feeling that I belonged I, I, had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone You got a fast car We go cruisin', entertain ourselves You still ain't got a job So I work in a market as a checkout girl I know things will get better You'll find work and I'll get promoted We'll move out of the shelter Buy a bigger house, live in the suburbs So, I remember when we were driving, driving in your car Speed so fast, I felt like I was drunk City lights lay out before us And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder And I, I, had a feeling that I belonged I, I, had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone You got a fast car I got a job that pays all our bills You stay out drinking late at the bar See more of your friends than you do of your kids I'd always hoped for better Thought maybe together you and me would find it I got no plans, I ain't going nowhere So take your fast car and keep on driving So, I remember when we were driving, driving in your car Speed so fast, I felt like I was drunk City lights lay out before us And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder And I, I, had a feeling that I belonged I, I, had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone You got a fast car Is it fast enough so you can fly away? You still gotta make a decision Leave tonight, or live and die this way
