Cactus Texas lyrics

(Waylon Jennings)

Do you remember Cactus Texas
Nothing but a wide place in the road
Eighteen wheelers never go there
Main Street`s just too narrow for the load.

A little town of honest people
Some we haven`t seen for quite awhile
I was young and restless
And we both were full of dreams and running wild.

We left our old hometown and family
Barely had a nickel to our name
We were out to win the world
Not once looking back or losing aim.

We hit the big town and the big time
Not a lot of effort in the deal
But in the bargain we lost touch with one another
And old feelings that were real.

--- Instrumental ---

In a big house up on easy street
Where too much never seems to be enough
We`re not the same two people far away
From all the days when the times were rough.

Including you and I
Is separated by a wall
It`s not something we can talk about
In fact we seldom even talk at all.

--- Instrumental ---

I don`t think we realize
How or why we ever came this far
Let`s go back to Cactus Texas
Maybe once we`re there we`ll find out where we are...
