The Vaughn Brothers, Stevie Ray & Jimmie
'Good Texan'
What became of the childhood innocence
When we all played together
Tag hide-and-seek stickball kickball
And then later but still really children fell in love
And those first nervous kisses and fondlings
And going out with your friends
Your crew
Feeling like the whole world was wide open to you
And how on earth does that degenerate
Into some of those same children growing up
Into a frothing rage
Storming the capitol building
Screaming the language of hate
Surely we could still be like children
Laughing together
--------
A deep dream comes to its end
And I awaken in the darkness
It is still deep in the night
No one else is awake to hear my dream
A dream in which I did a hard day’s work
And I know that tomorrow
It will be largely forgotten
Not sleepy anymore
I stay in the bed anyway
