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 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 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 Just like a west Texas rain Just like a west Texas rain Just like a west Texas rain
