[Verse 1]
Sunrise in a truck stop mirror
Coffee gone cold on the dash
Bootprints painted in red clay
Ticket booked, tucked in the trash
[Chorus]
Got this Texas dust in my throat
On my tongue and my lungs in my coat
Every mile writes a line in my bones
Texas dust in my throat
And it tastes like going home
[Verse 2]
Phone buzzing with the same old number
Let it ring out in the seat
Wind keeps chewing on my window
Like it knows what you did to me
[Chorus]
Got this Texas dust in my throat
On my tongue and my lungs in my coat
Every mile writes a line in my bones
Texas dust in my throat
And it tastes like going home
[Bridge]
I could turn this rig around, I know
Hit that county line, drive slow
But the road keeps saying my name
And that dry West air sings the same
[Chorus]
Got this Texas dust in my throat
On my tongue and my lungs in my coat
Every mile writes a line in my bones
Texas dust in my throat
And it tastes like going home
