Sun coming up on a two-lane road Coffee in my cup with nowhere 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 tracks 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 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 is all about 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 friends 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 Ride shotgun down 1 46 with me Ride shotgun down 1 46 with me Ride shotgun down 1 46 with me
