TEXAS (it's all big)

I'm not coming back this time
You can't make me see the light
You may think that you are right
But I've stepped into the night

Cannot reach me in your bed
Cannot teach me, I am dead
I have found the friends I seek
Cold and dark and I am weak

Saw myself inside a star
Wonder Wonder where you are
Saw myself I'm falling fast
Someone wished it wouldn't last

Maybe I could turn back now
But I will not milk that cow
Now I've left and I am gone
Do not know the road I'm on

Someone Someone what to do
Someone Someone be like you
Someone Someone save my soul
Someone Someone make me whole

The record spins in this street
Connecting veins in my feet
Doubt is clouding in my mind
Now it’s raining on my shine

But its dark and I can't see
Wishing you were more like me

No one likes to show you how
Do the things you do yourself
Begin...
I do not know how to go
It’s too late to go back home  
Within...
Saw myself I'm falling fast
Someone wished it wouldn't last
Who wins?
Who wins?
Who wins?

those lines spoke to me Walt...
or I should say sang to me...
very cool cadenced write poet sir

how about how good it feels to finally forgive you
