Misplaced Texan Bumper Sticker
Order here.
That is how I feel. In fact, most mornings, I wake up singing Pat Green‘s song Texas On My Mind, esp starting with the line: I woke up this morning with Texas on my mind. So, a disclaimer, I am not from Texas, but I got there as quickly as I could. Do I regret leaving Texas? Nope, because had I stayed, I would not have my sons. Do I wish that we would move back, absolutely. In fact, everyday, I think about moving back and everyday these lyrics run through my mind:
I woke up this morning
Texas on my mind
Thinking about my friends there
Maybe one day? But until that day comes, I am just a Misplaced Texan living on the east coast.
