I left my home in Texas
headed to the Frisco Bay
counted a lot of hard times
changes all the way
Now I 'm up in Sausalito
wonder where I ought to be
An' I wonder what happened to that man inside
the real old Texas Me
Raining in Port Arthur
snowing in Fort Worth town
Standing in front of Barber School hall
San Antone is my home town
Now I'm up on the Venice Beaches
and the fog rolling in
An' I wonder what happened to that man inside
the real old Texas Me
[ fiddle ]
Stranded outside of Houston
not a dime do I own
I used to go back to Shavano Woods
back here in San Antone
Now I 'm up in San Francisco
wonder where I ought to be
An' I wonder what happened to that man inside
the real old Texas Me
