Dave Carter & Tracy Grammer - Grand Prairie TX Homesick Blues lyrics

Grand Prairie, Texas, home on the range i come here for salvation but i'm just another stranger on a strip highway where nobody stops or stays hell-bent on revival, lookin' to grow some roots i have mortgaged my survival for these worn out cowboy boots but there's just one horse in forty miles and he's the prize possession of the Dallas zoo and he feels like a stranger, too Old Silver, take me ridin' through the foothills of my life i went easy in the saddle with a lever-action rifle and a tin canteen through a field of dreams way out by the Beltline where the armadillos play with the noble bootjack rabbit in the evening of the day oh where my brothers have you gone for i return to thank you for the gifts you gave but the field is paved these nights i work the graveyard at the burger king downtown i get off in the morning and i lay my wages down at the convenience store where stood my old front door st. peter when you call me, you can find me waitin' here beneath this sad mimosa tree with a quart of drive-thru beer for home is in the heartland but the heartland cannot save you when the heart is gone and home's moved on
