To make the kinds of music that gets made in Texas, someone must write it. That’s where it all starts. Could be heartfelt words of love, longing or anger. Or it could be a great tune that gets the people moving on the dance floor.
Texas Music
a state as wide as anything
space to become lost
to travel down a lonesome road
and never count the cost
maybe that’s why musicians
dot the land like stars
each a burning beacon
of solitude and scars
it takes time and loneliness
to truly court the Muse
to make yourself a vessel
for the Great What Is to use
but that’s just the beginning
a song is like a seed
for it to grow and blossom
it’s people that you need
with open hearts and open ears
and time to listen close
that’s the bread that music needs
to feed the hungry ghost
and we have plenty…
in Texas
