Somewhere Down In Texas

George Strait Somewhere Down In Texas Lyrics
1.If The Whole World Was A Honky Tonk

Written:Bryon Simpson/Ashley Gorley/Wade Kirby

If the whole world was a honky-tonk,
And it revolved around an old jukebox,
We'd tell our troubles to the bar,
Over cryin' steel guitars,
And soon they'd all be gone
Yeah, if you asked me what I thought,
I'd say, ''We'd be better off,
If the whole world was a honky-tonk.''

You could smoke that cigarette,
An' be politically incorrect
Show off that red 'round your neck
Not hear a single soul object
Wouldn't need no lawyers to decide,
Who is wrong and who is right
No need for big expensive trials
Brother, we'd just step outside.

If the whole world was a honky-tonk,
And it revolved around an old jukebox,
We'd tell our troubles to the bar,
Over cryin' steel guitars,
And soon they'd all be gone
If you asked me what I thought,
I'd say, ''We'd be better off,
If the whole world was a honky-tonk.''

Wouldn't have to pay no tax,
Just set a tip jar in the back
If we ran low we'd pass the hat,
I bet we'd all be in the black,
If the whole world was a honky-tonk.


And if you're lookin' for love,
Someone to heal that broken heart
Hey buddy, you'd be in luck
You wouldn't have to go that far.

If the whole world was a honky-tonk,
And it revolved around an old jukebox,
We'd tell our troubles to the bar,
Over cryin' steel guitars,
And soon they'd all be gone
If you asked me what I thought,
I'd say, ''We'd be better off,
If the whole world was a honky-tonk.''

Life would be a three-chord song,
And the king would be George Jones,
If the whole world was a honky-tonk...


2.Somewhere Down In Texas

Written:Dana Hunt Black/Tim Ryan Rouillier/Charlie Black

I've been on the road now dang near all my life
An' I do love to sing a song
I can say I've worked hard, put in my time
Now it's time to go home
And catch up on my chores
Watch the sunset from my porch.

Chorus:
I'll be somewhere down in Texas
If you're lookin' for me,
Drinkin' in that great wide-open,
Soakin' up the summer breeze
Kickin' back an' settled in with my family
I'll be somewhere down in Texas
If you're lookin' for me.

That's where I got started,
Where I was born an' bred
It's the fire inside of me
I couldn't have imagined this Texas highway led,
Far beyond my wildest dreams
But I'll turn out the lights tonight,
An' say goodnight, but not goodbye.

Chorus:
I'll be somewhere down in Texas
If you're lookin' for me,
Drinkin' in that great wide-open,
Soakin' up the summer breeze
Kickin' back an' settled in with my family
I'll be somewhere down in Texas
If you're lookin' for me.


I've made so many friends,
Hope we meet someday again
Till then.

Chorus:
I'll be somewhere down in Texas
If you're lookin' for me,
Drinkin' in that great wide-open,
Soakin' up the summer breeze
Kickin' back an' settled in with my family
I'll be somewhere down in Texas
If you're lookin' for me...
