Insanity and Texas Lyrics

We call it melancholy when we're lonely
They say we're transidental when we're high
And any time spent sufferin' we call it perserverane
So we can make excuses when we lie.
Well I don't claim to understand the meaning of the world,
Or the rhyme or reason of the song
But I know my mama loves me and my old dog went to Heaven
And when radio plays Hank I sing along.
- Well I'm a baptised follower of Jesus,
And I'll admit that I've been led astray
And I live out on the highway between insanity and Texas
And home is just a phone call away
And I know everything's gonna be ok. -
Well I've never been good at understadin' women
So I guess I've just been lucky with the girls.
And if brilliant men are roses, then I'm just a field of daisies
And I've traded in the Mozarts for the Merles.
I believe in happiness and freedom,
And brisket that's been hardwood smoked for days.
And I've worn my cowboy boots all through the hallowed halls of Congress
And sunlight always filters through the haze.
- Well I'm a baptised follower of Jesus,
And I'll admit that I've been led astray
And I live out on the highway between insanity and Texas
And home is just a phone call away
And I know everything's gonna be ok. -
Standin' in the rain will drench the body,
But dancin' in the rain will cleanse a soul
And no one ever said this life would be fair or easy
And a quick road will almost always charge a toll.
But there are those around who'll always love me
More than I deserve or can repay
And I know when that boogie man comes sneakin' out of the closet
I can close my eyes and it's all gonna be ok.
- Well I'm a baptised follower of Jesus,
And I'll admit that I've been led astray
And I live out on the highway between insanity and Texas
And home is just a phone call away
And I know everything's gonna be ok. -
