Texas from Redoubt by Faint Peter

Texas

I’m headed down to Texas gonna find myself a girl
And try to make her fit into my heaven
Cause there’s gotta be somebody in this God forsaken world
That can find a way to put me back together
And I hear there’s lots of women there to make you feel
like you are on the right side of the tracks again
I’m headed down to Texas gonna find myself a girl
to release me from all that I have been

And maybe she will save my life
Maybe she will save my life

Headed down to Mexico and it don’t mean a thing
That I don’t speak a word of chicano
Cause I’ll find a dark-skinned beauty and present her with a ring
And put it on her little finger pronto
And if I’m lucky she won’t understand me when I sing about
the reasons I spend my whole night crying
I ain’t afraid of drug lords and I ain’t afraid of love
cause I ain’t living so I best get busy dying

And maybe she will save my life
Maybe she will save my life

Headed down to somewhere I can’t be here anymore
And if I lose myself along the way
I’ll reach into my memory and pull out what’s in store
And if it makes me smile, here’s what I will say:

Maybe she will save my life
Maybe she will save my life
