Carroll to Terlingua Midwest Legends

(hmmmmm) Walking the halls of old Carroll High

Underneath that bright South Texas sky That's where he saw her,

his beautiful prize

With the grace of a queen and the sun in her eyes

Oh, the road of a man who stood tall

Through the promise of youth and the call

From the halls of his home to the far-off design He was

steady and true down the line

(down the line)

Then duty called out,

a young bold Marine

Sent off to fight in the jungle so green Vietnam tested the

strength in his chest

But he came back home to finish the quest He earned his

degree at Texas A&I

With a vision of life in his eye

Robert and Kenneth, two boys of his own

Watching them carve out a life they had grown

Out in Terlingua, they'd hunt in the brush

Under the stars in the desert evening hush (ahhh)

Oh, the road of a man who stood tall

Through the promise of youth and the call

From the halls of his home to the far-off design He was

steady and true down the line

(down the line)

Now the grandchildren

run through the yard

And he smiles at the life

he fought for so hard

Just watching them grow,

his work is all done

Beneath the warm Texas sun (hmmmmm)
