lyrics

Once upon a time, on a lonely highway
Starlight by my side, and and open road to guide me
the city fades in miles, a past reflection's memory
and each mile flys on by, when you're driving throught the country

So Goodnight Texas, cause I'm driving away.
state lines are out of sight, things will never change
count the mile markers in their place,
you know it seems like forever since I've seen your face
I will drive all through the night
To spend a minute by your side
and when you finely close your eyes
then it's time to say, goodnight.

The sky stretched above my head, is speckled with the stars
and each one holds its breath, not knowing where we are
you know it's not the end, but that doesnt mean we're not lost
so I'll keep driving through the night, to see your face no matter the cost

So Goodnight Texas...

Once upon a time, I rode a lonely highway
bound to see my bride, and no one's gonna stop me.

So Goodnight, Texas...
