[Verse 1] My boots stick to the porch Before noon says a word The dog lies in the shade Like he’s done with the world My shirt won’t dry on me Just hangs there, heavy, soaked Even the wind feels tired Like it forgot the joke [Pre-Chorus] I keep looking north At a road I haven’t found I need a place that breathes And lets me cool back down [Chorus] Texas, I can’t stay Too hot, too humid Texas, I can’t stay My skin says move it I need rain on my face I need space, I need blue Texas, I can’t stay I’m coming unglued [Verse 2] The truck bed burns my palm The gravel burns my soles The air around this town Feels like a kettle full The crawfish boil on the block The screen door slams at dusk Everybody says that’s life But it’s a lot for us [Pre-Chorus] I keep looking north At a road I haven’t found I need a place that breathes And lets me cool back down [Chorus] Texas, I can’t stay Too hot, too humid Texas, I can’t stay My skin says move it I need rain on my face I need space, I need blue Texas, I can’t stay I’m coming unglued [Bridge] Pack the cooler, load the maps Watch that hard sun fade Let me trade this heavy air For a morning that feels made I’ll remember you, I swear But I’m not built like this I want a window cracked And a reason to exist [Final Chorus] Texas, I can’t stay Too hot, too humid Texas, I can’t stay My skin says move it I need rain on my face I need space, I need blue Texas, I can’t stay I’m coming unglued Texas, I can’t stay I’m already halfway Texas, I can’t stay Let me find my own day
