San Antonio, Texas
San Antonio, Texas
Is the place where I was born
I went back there a couple of weeks ago
To reminisce with my old friends
And I heard some real good country music
And fell in love with a rodeo man
His eyes were bluer than a misty morning
I think I'm going back again
Take me there, Bandera Highway
To the places where I grew
Beneath the mesquite trees
And the warm summer breeze
You gotta savor all your childhood memories
Memories
Driving slow with the window down
By the river I could see
The deja vu was knocking at my door
Something here remembers me
And I've been a long, long way from yesterday
So far away I couldn't see
And somehow lately I decided I
Would look up a page of history
So there I will
Take me there, Bandera Highway
To the places where I grew
Beneath the mesquite trees
And the warm summer breeze
You gotta savor all your childhood memories
Memories
Well, I've turned some corners around this old town
And I've seen battle scars around the Alamo
And it sure amazes me to think about
How they fought so long ago in this old town
But here I go to pack my bags again
To the places where I grew
And follow the lone star in the sky
And I don't think I could ever leave San Antonio
Without a teardrop in my eye
Well, take me there, Bandera Highway
To the places where I grew
Beneath the mesquite trees
And the warm summer breeze





And the warm summer breeze
You gotta savor all your childhood memories
Memories
Well, I've turned some corners around this old town
