Intro verse 1 Back home, a fire they keep Out here the cold wind blows I did not want to leave I wonder if she knows The first word she said, to me was goodbye verse 2 In the west the sky grows darker Back east the sun will rise Back home my wife and daughter Don't know where I am tonight But soon I will find, a road that leads home Chorus 1 A man could die out here, they'd never know No longer will I walk among the ghosts Even though I left so long ago I got someone waiting back at home We got married down in Texas, Texas A little daughter of our own verse 3 She doesn't care about The cold wind that carried this song All that she knows right now Is that her father's still gone The first word she learned, to say was to say goodbye Chorus 2 A man could die out here, they'd never know No longer will I walk among the ghosts Even though I left so long ago I got someone waiting back at home We got married down in Texas, Texas A little daughter of our own Instrumental Chorus 3 A man could die out here, they'd never know No longer will I walk among the ghosts Even though I left so long ago I got someone waiting back at home We got married down in Texas, Texas A little daughter of our own Outro Life out here is getting reckless, reckless Better find my way back home We got married down in Texas, Texas Our little girl will soon be grown I can't stay, I'm getting restless, restless You're gonna have to let me go
