	Story Behind the Song This is basically a true story. I wrote it to honor my late father, William Hanberry, and his love for his native state of Texas. We got the basic tracks in a couple of takes. The solo was done quite a while later. These are the only planned solos on the album. The guitar solo is layed out but still has room to improvise around the edges. I like to record in the room with the amps to get that interaction with the guitar. On this one I had two amps turned all the way up. It was so loud I could hardly hear the background in the headphones. Lyrics My Daddy came from Texas and he gave me this advice Said it’s a big, bad, wicked world, sometimes it ain’t so nice So before you get yourself in too much trouble Better think about it twice. Think about it twice. His hair was white, his eyes were bright, face wizened by the sun, Sometimes you got to stand your ground, he said, sometimes you got to run. And if you get invited to a knife fight Be sure to bring your gun. Don’t let some fool talk you into bein' who you're not Don't be afraid to make Step right up and take the harder choice Make your plan, take your stand Tell 'em who you am in your own voice. (Solos) (So) if you're lost in Texas and you're waitin' for the bus And you're sick and tired of rattlesnakes, scorpions and dust You might decide to take a ride Be careful who you trust. [Ch.]
