What happens in Texas

Stays in Texas

Where you wear the heat

Like a heavy gold necklace

And spirit of the people

Is pretty and reckless

And the pride of the people

Is ripe and infectious

But I'm not sure

What what happens next is

Because this is an arrow

In the heart of the Texans

And every bit of peace

Has become ever so precious

I can remember the stifling heat

I can remember going out to eat

I can remember swimming at the neighbor's

I can remember the ice cream flavors

I can remember getting lost on the block

I can remember the shock

Of hearing what happened here

A place I've always held so dear

Consumed by darkness and weakness and fear

And I know that soon I'll go home

Pack my memories in the car

Hope what happened here doesn't leave a scar

Because it's easy to forget who we really are

While we're all sitting here wishing on that one lone star

Because what happens in Texas

Stays in Texas

But what happens in Dallas

Goes far
