Slick Like Texas (Careless Wind Cover)🎷

[MusicaI Intro] ... [Song Intro] You know how Texas feels in late July... That heat don't rush nobody. Neither do I. [Verse 1] Eased into the room like the bass eased in Didn't have to say a word just let the vibe begin Slick like the highway right outside of Abilene Smooth like the sunset turning everything to tangerine I don't run hot — I run efficient Every move deliberate every word a decision They loud I'm level They rush I settle I let the conversation come to me like a good chord progression Ain't gotta chase what's already gravitating Ain't gotta force what's naturally resonating West Coast in my bones Red Dirt in my boots Grown in the in-between Where the concrete meets the roots You can feel it when I walk in Something shifts in the air Not arrogance — just presence Like you always knew I'd be there [Hook] Slick like Texas on a slow summer night — (STEP) Easy like the moon when she's hangin' just right — (STEP) Don't need to prove it, it's already known — (TURN) Smooth as the saxophone leading you home — (HOLD) Slick like Texas — Born with it, raised on it Can't teach this — It's just the way I move [Verse 2 ] They trying to figure out how I make it look easy Like the formula's complicated like the answer ain't breezy It's just confidence calibrated Patience elevated Never desperate never rattled never once felt jaded I been watching how the masters move with minimal effort How the greatest in the room are always somehow the quietest letters Written in the margins of a story everybody's reading While the loud ones chase the moment I'm already leading West Coast taught me rhythm Texas taught me roots Put 'em both together Now watch how smooth I move I don't spill — (I pour) I don't rush — (I floor) Every room I walk into Knows what I'm here for Slick ain't something you perform It— just presence Like you always knew I'd be there [Hook] Slick like Texas on a slow summer night — (STEP) Easy like the moon when she's hangin' just right — (STEP) Don't need to prove it, it's already known — (TURN) Smooth as the saxophone leading you home — (HOLD) Slick like Texas — Born with it, raised on it Can't teach this — It's just the way I move [Verse 2 ] I been down these back roads Since before I knew their names Watched the good ones burn bright And the slick ones outlast the flames My daddy said son Don't be the loudest voice in the field Be the one they're still talking about When the loudest ones finally yield There's a certain kind of smooth That this red dirt teaches you When you've seen enough of life To know exactly what to do I ain't rushing to the finish I'm enjoying every mile The difference between arrived And arriving — is the style ...is the style. [Hook ] Slick like Texas on a slow summer night — step Easy like the moon when she's hangin' just right — step Don't need to prove it, it's already known — turn Smooth as the saxophone leading you home — hold Slick like Texas — Born with it, raised on it Can't teach this — It's just the way I {Repeat that move!) [Hook] Slick like Texas on a slow summer night — step Easy like the moon when she's hangin' just right — step Don't need to prove it, it's already known — turn Smooth as the saxophone leading you home — hold Slick like Texas — Born with it, raised on it Can't teach this — It's just the way I move [Bridge] You ever meet somebody And just know — Mmm — before they even spoke — That's the frequency I'm running That's the energy I own — Born easy, built for distance Always found my way back home — Slick like Texas — Ain't a thing to explain — You either got it running through you Or you standing in the rain — [Hook] Slick like Texas on a slow summer night — step Easy like the moon when she's hangin' just right — step Don't need to prove it, it's already known — turn Smooth as the saxophone leading you home — hold Slick like Texas — Born with it, raised on it Can't teach this — It's just the way I move ...slow and steady... ...West Coast roots... ...Red Dirt boots... [Outro] Slick like Texas... Always was... Always will be.
