Texas Friend

(Chip Taylor)

Back Road Music, B.M.I.



I held you in my arms last night in Austin

And I watched your dark eyes smiling with the dawn

And those feelings from the sky I thought I'd lost 'em

But they're back again -- my Texas friend



And I had the sweetest dream last night in Austin

And I felt your young heart beating on my skin

And we took all the fears we had and tossed 'em

And you're here with me -- and you'll always be...



My rainbow in Mississippi -- my blossom in Japan

Until we meet again.............my Texas friend



Now you have all life's treasure's waiting for you

And I've had my many blessings from the past

But girl you're one more that I did not count

And you're here with me -- and you'll always be...



My rainbow in Mississippi -- my blossom in Japan

Until we meet again........my Texas friend
