Sun coming up on a two-lane road
Coffee in a cup with somewhere to go
Small town waving as the tires roll by
Texas sky painted red white and blue tonight
Got a barbecue joint smoking out back
Old men talking about the railroad track
Kids laughing under Friday night lights
Yeah this is home and it feels so right
Every town got a story
Every road got a name
And every heart around here
Still burns with a flame
(Chorus)
Down Texas 1 46
Where the people still wave and the living’s still free
Little bit of dirt, little bit of neon light
Little bit of “everything’s gonna be alright”
From the backroad bars to the county line
Front porch dreams and a small-town life
If you wanna know what Texas means
Ride shotgun down 1 46 with me
(Verse 2)
There’s an old bait shop by the river bend
Old guitar picking with your best friends
Local bands playing under patio lights
Cold beer stories going late all night
Brand new families moving into town
Old brick buildings with a story to tell
Hard working people making dreams come true
That Texas spirit keeps shining through
(Bridge)
This ain’t just a highway
It’s a way of life
Where strangers become neighbors
And neighbors become family for life
(Final Chorus)
Down Texas 1 46
Where the flags still fly and the roots run deep
Little bit of old, little bit of new
Whole lotta Texas coming shining through
Yeah the music’s loud and the hearts are strong
Everybody here knows that they belong
If you wanna feel what freedom means
Ride shotgun down 1 46 with me
(Outro)
Yeah ride shotgun down 1 46 with me
Texas rolling wild and free
Just a little slice of home sweet home
Right here on 1 46
