SWEET TEXAS SONGS 4:15
Lynn Adler, Lindy Hearne & Hal Greenwood

Down along Big Sandy Creek,
Piney woods stand tall and deep.
Where lovers and mothers and desperate men
Come to the water to weep.

The water draws up through the roots
With the mystery it holds.
Breathing through the leaves of the whispering trees,
Stories long to be told.

Sweet Texas songs in the air.
Hear the music on the wind.
The fiddle and the banjo play
As we sing ‘em once again.
Play a high and wild guitar
Like the laugh of a love so fair.
Just takes a little lone star magic to hear
Sweet Texas songs in the air!

The wind blows east over Peckerwood Flat,
Up and down the Angel Branch.
Where lovers and mothers and desperate men
Still play at games of chance.

The wind pulls songs from their hearts
And sings them over the hills.
Just stand and listen in the wildflower fields.
You can hear ‘em still!

Sweet Texas songs in the air.
Hear the music on the wind.
The fiddle and the banjo play
As we sing ‘em once again.
Play a high and wild guitar
Like the laugh of a love so fair.
Just takes a little lone star magic to hear
Sweet Texas songs in the air!

Oh, the lovers go down on Cry Baby Bridge.
Take a chance and a shot at the moon.
They dance to ancient echoes of dreams,
And make their mark on a Sycamore tree!

Sweet Texas songs in the air.
Hear the music on the wind.
The fiddle and the banjo play
As we sing ‘em once again.
Play a high and wild guitar
Like the laugh of a love so fair.
Just takes a little lone star magic to hear
Sweet Texas songs in the air.
Sweet Texas songs in the air.
Sweet Texas songs in the air!
