Peter Bixby Ryan - Texas Sun Lyrics

Bury me beneath the Texas sun
So I can dream of California
When I was nineteen years old
I told myself I was too young
To give a damn what anyone said
So I got so drunk I lost my head
Cut my arms with broken glass
My friends all cried while I just laughed
And I died so many little deaths
Unknown bodies, unfamiliar beds
Take care of yourself
Get plenty of rest
Sleep with one eye open
Cards close to your chest
Take care of yourself
Get plenty of rest
Sleep with one eye open
Cards close to your chest
Thought I'd buy myself a gun
To do away with barking dogs
But that's the way the West was won
I don't want any part of that at all
Take care of yourself
Get plenty of rest
Sleep with one eye open
Cards close to your chest
Take care of yourself
Get plenty of rest
Sleep with one eye open
Cards close to your chest
You made your bed so lay in it
Things come full circle when all's said and done
Bury me beneath the Texas Sun
