"Ohio (Come Back To Texas)"
Bowling for Soup

She said she needed a break
a little time to think
but then she went to Cleveland
with some guy named Leelan
that she met at the bank

There's nothing wrong with Ohio
except the snow and the rain
I really like Drew Carey
and I'd love to see the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame

So when your done doing whatever
and when your thru doing whoever
you know Denton County will be right here waiting for you....

Come back to Texas
Its just not the same since you went away
Before you lose your accent
and forget all about the Lonestar State
There's a seat for you at the rodeo
and I've got every slow dance saved
Besides the Mexican food sux north of here anyway

I think I made a mistake
Its not that easy to take
She went to make a deposit
then she cleaned out her closet
Guess I'll sit here and wait

For her to come back home (I'd wish you come back home)
it shouldn't take very long (so long so long)
i bet she misses the sunrise
and misses the fruit flies but i could be wrong

Troy Aikmen wants you back
Willie Nelson wants you back
NASA wants you back
and the Bush twins want you back
and Pantera wants you back
and Blue Bell wants you back

I got a premonition
I'm taking a petition
and the whole state's gonna sign
Come back to Texas
Its just not the same since you went away
Before you lose your accent
and forget all about the Lone Star State
There's a seat for you at the rodeo
and I've got every slow dance saved
Besides the Mexican food sux north of here anyway

Well, Thanks Sister for the song. I appriciate it.
I didn't leave Texas for a boy.
I have never been to a rodeo that I enjoyed (but Im sure I would now if I went to one).
Slow dancing is fun (with the right person).
And it's true: Mexican food does suck up here compared to down there. We have no Chuy's up here :o(

But, I do miss the Lones Star state. I don't think anyone could forget it- it's too stinkin' huge! people forget about Alaska, it's a pretty quite state.
I miss seeing the gi-normous Texas Flags flying EVERYWHERE!!!
But when God is doing something in your life, and sure times are hard, I don't want to run away anymore. I know I am here for a reason. And I am praying that I will continually allow God to Change me into his image.
I love you Mom and Sister, but you will just have to deal with the one week visits. If only you could be here and understand. The people are great and there are so many different oppertunities up here. Mom: you did the same thing when you were my age, so I know you understand. I wish I would enjoy being down there permanently, but because of you, Mom, I have a heart that roams and desires to travel.
I Love Y'all. And don't worry, I never had an accent in the first place...well, maybe a little one. My friends say that when I talk to my mom I will have a little twang ;o)
