Texarkana (Demo) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Went to take a ride out in the county
Trying to forget about me and you
Made believe, can't you see
It's coming up a storm and I am gone
Change the medium
Widen the road
Lessen a load for you

[Chorus]
When I'm there in Texarkana
Where is that county line?
Another county line

[Verse 2]
I can only see what's in front of me
And you're not here
Riding out in the county
Trying to forget about me and you
Water in Neches River flooded
Washed the bridge away
Had to take a detour over the overpass

[Chorus]
When I'm in Texarkana
Where is that county line?
Another county line
[Refrain]
I can only see what's in front of me
And you're not here

[Refrain]
I can only see what's in front of me
And you're not here

[Verse 3]
Went to take a ride out in the county
Trying to forget about me and you
And I got stuck behind an 18-wheel truck
Flatbed, two lanes carrying pine

[Chorus]
When I'm in Texarkana
Where is that county line?
Another county line

[Outro]
I can only see what's in front of me
And you're not here
You are just a memory
You're in my memory
I can't see
Ten minutes
Ten hours
Ten days
Ten years
Ten miles
Ten thousand miles away
Why can't you see?
I need to leave
And you're not here
You're not here
Fixing to see so much clearer

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
