Bluebonnets on the hillside
Mellow in the air
Smiles on the faces of people you meet
'Cause they ain't going nowhere
Oh, your smile has never been brighter
And your body never looked so fine
As I while away a beautiful day
A beautiful Texas sunshine
After we feed the dogs
And grab ourselves another beer
Come over here and sit by me
And tell me, baby, how you feel
Well, I know the time has come
That I got to be moving on
But I'll always say a beautiful day
My beautiful Texas sunshine
Well, your smile has never been brighter
And your body never looked so fine
As we while away a beautiful day
The beautiful Texas sunshine
If I knew what I was doing
I'd left a long time ago
Pack my bags, my guitar case
And headed down to Mexico
Well, it sure does hurt me, baby
To see you honey sit and cry
But you got to understand, I'm a moving man
I'll be back by and by
And we'll just while away the beautiful day
The beautiful Texas sunshine
Mellow in the air
Smiles on the faces of people you meet
'Cause they ain't going nowhere
Oh, your smile has never been brighter
And your body never looked so fine
As I while away a beautiful day
A beautiful Texas sunshine
After we feed the dogs
And grab ourselves another beer
Come over here and sit by me
And tell me, baby, how you feel
Well, I know the time has come
That I got to be moving on
But I'll always say a beautiful day
My beautiful Texas sunshine
Well, your smile has never been brighter
And your body never looked so fine
As we while away a beautiful day
The beautiful Texas sunshine
If I knew what I was doing
I'd left a long time ago
Pack my bags, my guitar case
And headed down to Mexico
Well, it sure does hurt me, baby
To see you honey sit and cry
But you got to understand, I'm a moving man
I'll be back by and by
And we'll just while away the beautiful day
The beautiful Texas sunshine
Son Volt

Son Volt is an American rock band formed in 1994 by Jay Farrar after the breakup of Uncle Tupelo. The band's current line-up consists of Farrar (vocals, guitar), Andrew DuPlantis (bass guitar), John Horton (guitar), Mark Patterson (drums), and Mark Spencer (keyboard, steel guitar). In addition to playing alternative rock, the band is considered a staple of the alternative country rock movement of the 1990s. The band's sound also is rooted in folk rock and Americana. The band went on an indefinite hiatus in 2001, before reforming in 2004.
