Verse 1
Cactus and tumbleweed
*lyrics lyrics lyrics*
Dirt roads runnin’
Along the Rio Grande
Just a *lyrics* Texas map dot
With a flat mason backdrop
Whole lotta nothin’
And you drive right past
It may not look like much but hey
I tell you what
Chorus
It taught me how to work hard
How to love with all my heart
My roots run deep
In this dry desert ground
It’s where I learned to pray and
Never be ashamed of
The people who raised me
And it makes me proud
No, I couldn’t see it before
But this place is so much more
Than just a bordertown
Verse 2
Couldn’t wait to kick-on
To the big world way beyond
Those circle cake Saturdays
And Friday night lights
But this place wrote my story
It’s still writing it for me
And it’s gonna stay with me
For the rest of my life
Chorus
It taught me how to work hard
How to love with all my heart
My roots run deep
In this dry desert ground
It’s where I learned to pray and
Never be ashamed of
The people who raised me
And it makes me proud
No, I couldn’t see it before
But this place is so much more
Than just a bordertown
Instrumental
Bridge
It may not look like much
But hey, it’s where I’m from
Chorus
It taught me how to work hard
How to love with all my heart
My roots run deep
In this dry desert ground
It’s where I learned to pray and
Never be ashamed of
The people who raised me
And it makes me proud
No, I couldn’t see it before
But this place is so much more
Than just a bordertown
Just a bordertown
Ohh-ooh yeah
Just a bordertown
