IF THE STORM DOESNT KILL ME,
THE GOVERNMENT WILL.

GOTTA GET THAT OUT OF MY HEAD.
IT'S A NEW DAY TODAY AND THE COFFEE IS STRONG,
I FINALLY GOT SOME REST.

SO A MAN'S PUT TO TASK AND CHALLENGES.
I WAS TAUGHT TO HOLD MY HEAD HIGH.
COLLECT WHAT IS MINE,
MAKE THE BEST OF WHAT TODAY HAS.

HOUSTON IS FILLED WITH PROMISE,
LAREDO'S A BEAUTIFUL PLACE.
AND GALVESTON SINGS LIKE THAT SONG THAT I LOVED,
ITS MEANING HAS NOT BEEN ERASED.

AND SO THERE ARE CLAIMS FORGIVEN
AND SO THERE ARE THINGS THAT ARE GONE.

HOUSTON IS FILLED WITH PROMISE,
LAREDO'S A BEAUTIFUL PLACE.
AND GALVESTON SINGS LIKE THAT SONG THAT I LOVED,
ITS MEANING HAS NOT BEEN ERASED.

AND SOME THINGS THEY FALL TO THE WAYSIDE
THEIR MEMORIES YET TO BE STILLED
BELIEF HAS NOT FAILED ME
AND SO I AM PUT TO THE TEST
