The heat rises off of the highway My rear-view mirror's a blur You had me spinnin' in circles Like the Dust Devil's dance in the dirt But I finally came to my senses It's time I blew out of this place 'Cause you'd stand in the middle of Texas An' tell me you needed some space You'd stand in the middle of Texas An' in the free an' the wide open range Feel like you're hemmed in by fences An' lookin' for someone to blame Oh, there ain't no changin' you, darlin' You're too dead set in your ways 'Cause you'd stand in the middle of Texas An' tell me you needed some space Now you can breath just as deep as you want to You won't have to smell my perfume When you feel the need, you can call me Like the lonely wolf howls at the moon But this time, I won't come runnin' It took me a long time to face That you'd stand in the middle of Texas An' tell me you needed some space You'd stand in the middle of Texas In the free an' the wide open range Feel like you're hemmed in by fences An' lookin' for someone to blame Oh, there ain't no changin' you, darlin' Well, you're too dead set in your ways 'Cause you'd stand in the middle of Texas An' tell me you needed some space Oh, there ain't no changin' you, darlin' Well, you're too damned set in your ways 'Cause you'd stand in the middle of Texas An' tell me you needed some space
