Watson, Aaron - Texas Lullaby Lyrics
He was just eighteen
Full of fire and gasoline
He was lean and mean
And they called him Texas
To a far and distant shore
He'd never left his home before
He was from Texas
As they stormed that beach one foggy summer day
He said if I don't make it back promise me one thing
Take me home if I die
When I'm gone don't ya cry
Find some shade right beside a live oak tree
I'll fly away amazing grace
But you find comfort knowing that my soul found peace
And you can bury me beneath the deep blue skies of Texas
Well she was just eighteen
Prettiest thing he'd ever seen
Like a real life beauty queen
And someday she'd be his wife
But for the next four years
She fought back her tears
While he fought back his fears
Fighting for his life
And in his darkest hours
Her love would bring him a light
He would read her letters
He would pray at night
Take me home if I die
When I'm gone don't ya cry
Find some shade right beside a live oak tree
Sing those old songs of faith
I'll fly away amazing grace
But you find comfort knowing that my soul found peace
And you can bury me beneath the deep blue skies of Texas
He always said the real heroes
Never made it back home
And though the war was long over
You know for him it still lived on
And it still lives on
When he was eighty-three
Still full of fire and gasoline
He was still lean and mean
And they still called him Texas
And on the day he died
She was right there by his side
She held his hand as she softly sang his lullaby
Take me home if I die
When I'm gone don't ya cry
Find some shade right beside a live oak tree
Sing those old songs of faith
I'll fly away amazing grace
But you find comfort knowing that my soul found peace
And you can bury me
You can bury me
You can bury me beneath the deep blue skies of Texas

Watson, Aaron Texas Lullaby Comments
This was the last song my grandpa sang while he was in the hospital. He sang it to me and my little brother then an hour later he sadly went to the gates of heaven. Heaven called the best cowboy and rancher I could ever know or ask for. I cry everytime I hear it. My brother and i sang it at his funeral.
I’m my moms son I your number 1 fan!!!!!!
Wow what a great song and so much cowboy handsomeness
What he sounds like Gary Allan a lot on this song some of his songs he sounds just like Gary Allan

How does this son only have 45k views??? This is one of the few country singers that is great!
this song has so much raw emotion in it, Aaron read my mind when he wrote this song. I can't listen without crying, I love that about country music.
Mainstream country ain't country. The proud tradition and roots can still be found in artists
like Aaron Watson, Cody Johnson and many others.
Ryan Russell most are actually country boys.
Dwalk22 boss So true
Truest coment I've read, can't forget Cody Jinks in the list. Aaron Watson is amazing, I'll toast a drink to anything he sings and writes.. here's one to you buddy! True country still lives on, I just wish it was played on today's radio!
Jake Worthington is probably my favorite
Can I make a stupid comment? Who is here because of Glenn Beck? I am....
I'm here because of real country.
AWESOME! love
