could it be???

Hullabaloo Canek, Canek
Yes, it's true, I heard that sweet sound for the first time in Tennessee today! Music to my hears. I was sitting in the office, all by myself (which was fantastic becuase it was quiet and I was getting SO much work accomplished), when I hear from the busy street in front of the office, a friendly car pass by, honking their horn with that beautiful melody.....if you're an Aggie, you know what I'm talking about....if not, you're thinking I'm crazy right now! I heard it and thought "could it be, no i must be crazy, but i thought again, no, it was hullabaloo, no doubt!" My theory is that there is a fellow Aggie somewhere in this east tn town and they saw my little car from texas parked in the street and decided to let me know I'm not alone. or maybe it was mere happenstance, but I think my theory is much better and it brought a little joy to my heart! Thank you, Lord, for Aggies :)

homesick

Texas
by George Straight
There wouldn’t be no Alamo
No Cowboys in the Super Bowl
No Lonesome Dove, no yellow rose
If it wasn’t for Texas
I wouldn’t be a Willie fan
Nobody’d swim the Rio Grande
I wouldn’t be an American
If it wasn’t for Texas
Fort Worth would never cross my mind
There’d be no Austin city limit sign
No lone star of any kind
If it wasn’t for Texas
I’d never gone to Tennessee
To sing my songs and chase my dreams
Only heaven knows just where I’d be
If it wasn’t for Texas
It made me the man I am
Thank God for my old stompin’ ground
I wouldn’t be standin’ right here right now
If it wasn’t for Texas
If it wasn’t for Texas
If it wasn’t for Texas
My heart's a little homesick right now.....homesick for Texas.....this song about sums up how I feel. I miss my family, my Texas friends, Aggie Baseball, Aggies, bluebonnets, hot weather, flat land and a big sky, Texas Bar-B-Q, Dublin Dr. Pepper, BLUE BELL, Texas thunderstorms, pastures full of cattle, tractors plowing the fields, being within driving distance of so many memories and fantastic cities.....no doubt I am blessed and in His will, my heart's just weary and missing the familiar and the comfortable....what's normal to me :)
