Lyrics

Texas Exodus-

With an Exodus from Texas, roots no longer here
The dust kicked up has settled and now a path has become clear

Daddy was a lawman sentenced to the booze
Do his job or do what's right
He always had to choose

When he leftall he left stuck in his son's mind
How those scales they were unbalanced
But her sword it cut just fine
(Justice isn't blind)

Mama was a madame taught him wrong from right
In the world's oldest profession
she housed ladies of the night
Once Pa left
town it was up to her
to make ends meet
So she sent her little boy out
to steer strangers from the street.
(For a taste of something sweet)

The boy he was golden
Full of wit and charm
When it came to fleecing wayward sheep
He never saw the harm
When he led them to the slaughter
They didn't hesitate
Those poor fools and their money,
He was quick to separate
(And he never played it straight)

Round Rocks just a whistle stop
No roots to hold him down
Pa’s out in the wind
Mamas in the Ground
