I couldn't be happier than I am today
I woke up with a big smile on my face.
I don't know why but could possibly be
that it was sunny and as bright as it could be.
I miss the sun
And the hot humid Texas air
I miss the warmth
and the breeze that ruffled hair.
The sky was a bright light blue
Not a cloud in sight on the canvas hues
The wheat fields would bend gracefully
Like a dance that no one can describe perfectly.
The contrast of Gold and Blue
Makes me miss the country and cicada's I grew up to.
I remember swimming in a pool of blue
so cool and enticing, the place I learned to,
Swim, and dive turn in circles around
Cool against hot, hot against cool, no sound
would quake or disturb this place
The giant old oak ruslting and leaves as soft as lace.
I used to climb that tree and chase my dog,
Roll in the dirt and drive through the thick fog
I would be roudy and wild, as free as I could be
But when I left some years ago, I left behind a piece of me.
Sure, I've moved and been everywhere in the western half of this country,
but only one place I can call home, and I'll say so, even if it kills me.
My heart belongs in that small town in a big state,
and when I go back, I can't help but feel complete.
