West Texas Rain

We have been getting some good rain out here on the west coast of Texas. Needed it, but as usual our average rainfall for the year tries to come all at once. So not much has been going on. Watching the rain and praying we get what we need without flooding my garden out.

So here are some pictures to look at, and the lyrics to the song in my head by Wade Bowen.

 

 

 

“West Texas Rain”

I have been restless

I have been reckless

I’ve been a strain on my mom’s heart

I’ve been a drunk

I’ve been a dreamer

Pulling the strings on this old guitar

I’ve found a few answers

I’ve still got questions

Kept it together and fallen apart

I got secrets and stories

Old shoebox memories

And choices that I’d like to change

Teardrops and laughter

And me chasing after

Years that go as quick as they came

Like a west Texas rain

Well I’ve been a lover

I’ve been a father

I’ve been a brother

And I’ve been a son

Well I’ve been a preacher

I’ve been a sinner

If you can name it,

I’ve probably been one

I’m strong for the struggle

Constantly reaching,

Reaching for something that I’ve never down

And I got secrets and stories

Old shoebox memories

Choices that I’d like to change

I got teardrops and laughter

And me chasing after

Years that go as quick as they came

Like a west Texas rain

So close your eyes and hold on

We’re here and we’re gone

It goes as quick as it came

Just like a west Texas rain
