The Colorado wind blows cold as glass
The rushing sound of pine trees says I’m through another pass
The road is cold and dark, we’re a thousand miles apart
But memories build a bridge that brings me back

In your arms, that’s where I belong
The sweetest ever love song that always calls me home
However long and however far this road might take me on
I’m making my way back to the one I love

I’m headed home to Texas, can’t ever stay away
The open skies embrace me, I never want to stray
And if I had the option I’d never leave again
I’d keep my rambling feet right in this town
’Cause when I’m in your arms I’m Austin found

The road is long that brought me from there to here
And when I look back I think about all the passing years
The empty miles of absence that carry me down this road
And your welcome smile when I get back home
