Lyrics

Just on the tires to get by my side

County clinic waiting past the county line

Multimeter, torque wrench, notebook full of names I bring the little

machines back to life

From Amarillo wind to the

Gulf Coast rain Knowledge in my head, steady in my

hands

Texas,

Texas, under one wide sky I carry tools and know -how where the weak

lights shine From the

Panhandle down to the

Rio Grande I keep the heartbeat running with the craftsman's hands

Texas, Texas, hear that highway roll

Every town's got a patient, every room's got a soul

Bluebonnets lean beside the service road

A centrifuge is humming in a trailer by the cotton rose I read

I read the one -hour manual

Trace the fault by sound

Tighten one small connection

And the whole thing comes around

Through the book heat

And pinewood shade I leave a working promise

Where a broken one had stayed

Hey, Texas, Texas Under one wide sky I carry tools and know

-how Where the weak light shine

From the Panhandle down to the

Rio Grande I keep the heartbeat running with the craftsman's hands

Hey, Texas, Texas Hear that highway roll

Every town's got a patient

Every room's got a soul

No silver spoon No borrowed name

Just calibrated patience And a little pre -stained faith

When the monitor wakes

And the room turns bright

You can hear a whole town

Breathe tonight Good night.

Texas, Texas, under one wide sky I carry tools and know -how

where the weak lights shine

East Texas timber to the desert sand I keep the heartbeat

running with a craftsman's hand

Texas, Texas, let that six -string roar

There's always one more road and one more door

Texas, Texas, I'll answer when they call

With a toolbox,

a notebook, and the will to fix it all

Toolbox, ride, and shotgun,

sunrise on the glass

Texas in the rear view, another mile to

pass
