Little Texas - Missing Years Lyrics

Missing Years
By Little Texas

Bet you never thought you’d see me, round these parts again,
cause five minutes after graduation I blew out of here like the wind,
was the first one in four generations to think that there had to be something more,
and whatever I was missing, it damn sure worth looking for,
So I hit the road, long and lonesome road,

I got lost in Arizona, trying to find my place in the sun,
met a girl in Oklahoma, turns out she was not the one,
Made my way to the Carolina’s, wondered up and down the coast,
till it dawned on me, what I’d left right here,
and what I’d been missing, in my missing years

It’s the smell of the morning coffee, at the Liberty Cafe,
smile and in a way from old Sunny, like I hadn’t missed a day,
Well it sure ain’t much to look at, just a dusty drive through town,
but the roots that run beneath it, are what make it scared ground,
I’ve seen enough to know, what make a place a home,

Cause I got lost in Arizona, trying to find my place in the sun,
met a girl in Oklahoma, turns out she was not the one,
Made my way to the Carolina’s, wondered up and down the coast,
till it dawned on me, what I’d left right here,
and what I’d been missing, in my missing years

Made my way from the Carolina’s, to this one lane gravel road,
cause it dawned on me, what I left right here,
cause what I been missing, in my missing years.
