I’ve walked the dusty roads under the Texas sun

Tasted every drop of sweat, every tear, every one

From El Paso to Corpus, I’ve seen it all, I’ve faced

The harsh winds and the storms, the wild and the vast

In the shadows of the mesquite, I found my way

Bare hands and a heart, that’s all I ever had to pay

Through the nights when the coyotes howl, I stood tall

With the stars as my compass, through the darkest fall

I’ve tasted every poison, baptized in the mud

Got the Texas desert running thick inside my blood

Long and lonely, paved with silver and with stone

King of every valley, traveled all alone

I’ve worn the boots that bore the brunt of time

Carved by the desert, where the wild things climb

Through the canyons deep, and the prairies wide

I’m the master of my fate, my own guide

When the sun dips low and the stars begin to gleam

I know I’ve earned the silence, the peace I dream

Of the paths I’ve trod, the lessons learned so well

In the Texas night, my spirit never fell

I’ve tasted every poison, baptized in the mud

Got the Texas desert running thick inside my blood

Long and lonely, paved with silver and with stone

King of every valley, traveled all alone.
