Songtexte Slow Ride Home - Little Texas

All along the dirt road where I learned to drive
And all the way down Main
This town ain't turned out like this
Since we won state
Past the diner and the barber shop
Where I got my first buzz cut
Past the school and the church
And that garage where I worked
'Til I signed up

All the flags fly at half mast
Tears fill the eyes of the people as I roll past
And they wave and cheer me on
On my slow ride home

There's that old movie house where we first kissed
Fell in love and made a pact
I'd make her my wife and we'd start the rest of our lives
When I got back
There stands the president of the Lion's Club
He got back in '72
Purple Heart on the chest of his black leather vest
And a big salute

While the flags fly at half mast
Tears fill the eyes of the people as I roll past
And they wave and cheer me on
On my slow ride home
I see every reason why I had to go
On my slow ride home
On my slow ride home
