Want It Back

Most of it was Texas!
M. Shelton

[Verse 1]
Took a little road trip, they said, “ it’ll be fun”  
I headed down south.  One truck, and a couple buds
Crossed the Lone Star state line, ten miles in, stopped at a watering hole
There was a band onstage playing ol George Strait and, I saw a yellow rose
She was a Redhead cutie dancing by the bar. But her jealous ex-bo wasn't on my radar

[CHORUS 1]
It ain’t my fault. I’m in trouble with the law
Yeah, sure, I got caught.
I couldn’t resist her southern drawl
If you really wanna know where to place the blame, I tell ya, I been framed
Maybe I was reckless,
Most of it was Texas. 

[Verse 2]
Sitting in the courthouse, attorney said, “we’ll soon be done.
No need to worry, I know the judge. I’ll get ya out of here son"
I stood up when I heard “all rise”, I could not believe my eyes
Sitting up there on the bench, was a nametag, guess what it said
That good ol judge had the same last name, as that good ol boy I punched in the face…And I said...

[CHORUS 2]
It ain’t my fault, I’m in trouble with the law
Yeah, sure, I got caught. 
He swung first, everybody saw
If you really wanna know where to place the blame, I tell ya, I been framed
Maybe I was reckless,
Most of it was Texas!!

[Guitar and fiddle instrumental solo]

[BRIDGE]
Now that good ol girl from way back when, visits me in jail and dances again...

[CHORUS 3]
It ain’t my fault! I liked something that I saw
Yeah, sure I got caught, my little red head was worth it all
some of it, a lot of it, most of it was Texas
some of it, a lot of it, most of it…was Texas!! (TEXAS!!)

Most of it was Texas!

Worn-out shoes, fading skies, full hearts – and you at the end of the road.
“Coming Home” is an emotional road song about late nights, second tries, and the pull of a place – or a person – that feels like home. With imagery of neon towns, falling stars, and blurry eyes on empty highways, it’s a track about finding clarity in return. For everyone who’s ever run far just to get closer.

Ausgetretene Schuhe, offener Himmel, volles Herz – und du am Ziel.
„Coming Home“ ist ein emotionaler Roadtrip-Song über späte Nächte, zweite Chancen und das tiefe Gefühl, unterwegs zu sein – und trotzdem zu wissen, wo man hingehört. Zwischen fallenden Sternen, flimmernden Straßen und leisen Erinnerungen erzählt der Song von der Kraft, heimzukehren. Für alle, die losfahren, um endlich anzukommen.

BACK ROAD MEMORIES
Lyrics By: Thomas W. Peterson AKA RedHeart 
 ©COPYRIGHT 10–1-25 All Rights Reserved ©

VERSE 1: 
I was seventeen with a hand-me-down truck 
Rust on the fender, but I didn't give a— 
Thought about nothing but Friday nights 
Your hand in mine under dashboard lights 
We'd drive for hours with nowhere to go 
Just two kids with a tank full of hope 
The radio played our favorite song 
Back when forever didn't feel so long

PRE-CHORUS: 
Now I'm older, got a job downtown 
But something's missing that I haven't found

CHORUS: 
Take me back to those back road memories 
Where the only thing that mattered was you and me 
Dust clouds rising in the summer heat 
Young and wild and feeling so free 
I'd trade this whole world just to feel that way 
When love was simple and the nights would stay 
Forever young in those back road memories 
Yeah, those back road memories

VERSE 2: 
Now I'm stuck in traffic, suit and tie 
Scrolling through photos from a simpler time 
Your smile still hits me like it did back then 
Wonder if you ever think about what might have been
 Life got busy, we both moved on 
But late at night when I'm all alone 
I close my eyes and I'm back in that truck 
With the only girl I ever loved

PRE-CHORUS: 
The years keep rolling, but I still can see 
That dirt road dancing in front of me

CHORUS: 
Take me back to those back road memories 
Where the only thing that mattered was you and me 
Dust clouds rising in the summer heat 
Young and wild and feeling so free 
I'd trade this whole world just to feel that way 
When love was simple and the nights would stay 
Forever young in those back road memories 
Yeah, those back road memories

BRIDGE: 
Maybe I'm just chasing yesterday 
Maybe some things ain't meant to change 
But if I could go back for just one night 
I'd hold you closer, hold you tight 
And never let you go

FINAL CHORUS: 
Take me back to those back road memories 
Where the only thing that mattered was you and me 
Dust clouds rising in the summer heat 
Young and wild and feeling so   
 I'd give anything just to feel that way 
When love was simple and the nights would stay 
Forever young in those back road memories 
Yeah, those back road memories

OUTRO: 
I was seventeen with a hand-me-down truck 
And a girl who made me feel like I was enough 
Those back road memories 
Sweet back road memories


The 4th
