I never told you how I love you
I'm sorry for that now
I'll never have that chance again
I wish I could somehow
I'm sendin' out my last farewell
Sendin' my last goodbye
I hope this message finds you well
Texas heat is high
My daddy told me long ago
Better listen kid
There's many things I should have done
That I never did
But I did not want to leave you
Sonny please don't cry
I'll be in here for twenty years
Texas heat is high
I don't believe in devils
And heaven is just a lie
I hope this message finds you well
Texas heat is high
Now I hear 'em at the door
Tellin' me it's time
To mingle with the twilight stars
And pay for all my crimes
I'll sit down in their butcher's chair
And hold you one last time
I hope this message finds you well
Texas heat is high
I did not want to leave you
Darlin' please don't cry
I hope this message finds you well
Texas heat is high
Texas heat is high
