Paint Me In A Texas Landscape
He was painting a new landscape
As a middle aged cowboy strode in
Beat up old boots, not in good shape
And lookin’ kinda down in the chin
The cowboy watched him for a long time
He said Mister, you paint like a pro
You really paint the prairie in prime
Reminds me of the Texas I know
The artist asked to paint the cowboy as well
If he wanted to sit there for just a spell
The cowboy said yep, if you can paint me at home
With my dog Shep, a ways outside old San Antone
(instrumental)
Paint me in a Texas landscape
Place me where the X is
Right in the middle in good shape
That’s where my old heart is
I dearly love Texas
Paint me back to before my roamin’ began
Place me where the X is
So, paint me in a Texas landscape, my friend
(instrumental)
Well now, I thought I could be the best
It’s true, I busted many a horse
But now Mister, I’ll tell this to you
Some were loco and Devils, of course
I ended up here in New York state
I showed city slickers how I could ride
But somehow I knew I’d meet my fate
That last horse was the meanest rawhide
(instrumental)
Paint me in a Texas landscape
Place me where the X is
Right in the middle in good shape
That’s where my old heart is
I dearly love Texas
Paint me back to before my roamin’ began
Place me where the X is
So, paint me in a Texas landscape, my friend
