i'll call it home

give me neon lights
that don't shine too bright
a lone star
above the bar
there in the night
help me lose sight
of what might
have been
of what i had
back then

an acoustic sound
one that's bound
ta' make me dance
round & round
ta' make me take a chance
on what i've found

a mandolin
that sound so thin
an old banjo
don't ya' know
a do-si-doe
a fiddle
ta' riddle
the words
a steel guitar
a lone star
take me that far

western swing
that's the thing
a tear in my beer
when memories
get too near
when old loves
come back too dear

a honky tonk
for an old Texas monk
a juke box
one that rocks
with Texas sounds
for those nights
when she comes around

a place ta' roam
i'll call it home

an old pool table
so if i'm able
if i'm still sorta stable
i'll play 8-ball
make my call
& sing 'em all
there
in the old dance hall

a place alone
with other people
a church of our own
without a steeple

a place to roam
i'll call it home

there in the nights
with the neon lights

a Lone Star
kinda bar
