Lyrics:
When the pipes all freeze
And you want to leave
But the ice shuts down the road
We got rolling blackouts rock’in Texas on account of all this cold
Ain’t no salt, ain’t no plow.
Barely more than corn insulating the house.
The folks in the high-rise still got the bright lies, but those on the edges are struggling and dying
Right here in Texas
I where all of the best is
in the year of 21
there were hard times behind us
They don’t mind us
Cus worse was yet to come
Six days in, down to 6 degrees
Cold in the bedroom, cold between the sheets
Glass by my head froze
When the cruel wind blows
I can hear my name
I swear it’s calling me.
I had a friend who met his end
On that bleak February
His name was Gene Taylor
The piano player
one better I’ve yet to see
I’d sat by the keys
He tried to teach me.
About slurs and slides and hard times on the road with JT.
Now that lights gone out
And I want to shout
But all that texas has is blue silence for me.
