MGemories of East Texas and those piCne-green rolling hiDlls
CGovered in the springtime with goClden daffodiDls
RoCwing on Sandy laDke come April, haGrvesting hBmay in JEmune
SiCtting by the road watching wellfires burn by an oD7ld October moon
CHORUS
IC learned to drive on those EastDTexas red clay bGack roads
And I mCean to tell you my friDend they weren't no eGasy roads
You had to wCatch out for all the cDurves dGown by KeBmlsey
CEmreek
And dCetour through the Lindsay's pasture when the waters ran too dDeep
Memories of East Texas and of Gilmer, county seat of Upshur
Looking back and asking myself ``What the hell did you let them break your spirit for?''
Their lives ran in circles so small, they thought they'd seen it all
And they couldn't make a place for a girl who'd seen the ocean
CH....
But those memories of East Texas and those pine-green rolling hills
Covered in the springtime with wild daffodils
Sitting in those Piney woods, playing my guitar
Thinking back on the roads I'd come, thinking I had not come that far
