So, so perfect! Even moreso in this crazy 2024. Wow. I'm an American woman, 60s, & things are going crazy now. Texas & Florida are the two states where 'good, patriots' are flocking to. I'm certain you'll know what I really mean. Thank you, Chris. ❤
This music video is genius! And that guitar solo is phenomenal. English artists always create the best interpretations of American culture or at least, used to. Chris Rea is a legend!
It takes a man from Middlesborough to write the absolute best song about Texas....EVER! The first time I heard it, I was flying down the Dallas Tollway and had to pull over and listen to it. Ever since then, I became a huge fan. I realize he may never tour again, much less the states but I keep listening!
Let's not get it twisted.Maybe you should checkout Gary P Nunn's "Ask Me What I Like About Texas" or "Home With the Armadillo"......or Guy Clark's "The Dark" or Jerry Jeff Walker's "Leavin' Texas".....or Freddie King's "Palace of the King".I could name them all nite long! AINT IT FUN BEING FROM TEXAS!
@@knifelyfe6565 Ray Benson's version of Way Down Texas Way, Little Texas' God Bless Texas, Dale Watson's South of Round Rock Texas, and of course Lyle Lovett's You're Not From Texas!
@@garyjackson3531 Yes Sir! We could name them all night long.Jerry Jeff "Leavin Texas". Ray Wylie Hubbard "Screw you, We're from Texas". Michael Martin Murphy "5:00 on a Texas Morning". John Nitzinger "Tell Texas". Freddie King "Palace of the King" and "Texas Flyer". Nanci Griffith "Lonestar State of Mind".Asleep at the Wheel "Texas Me and You"...this list goes on forever and the party never ends!
When I bought my 928 I drove it from San Diego California almost 1400 miles back to Dallas Texas. Played this song over and over driving hour after hour through the desert in West Texas...yes that road really does go on forever...
Sounds like you are a philospher, some would be driven close to insanity by the emptyness. The true thinker sees the time alone as a chance to understand.
I think Chris Rea ids very underrated.. When folk talk of great guitar players it's alway Clapton Townshend.. Hendrix etc there's never a mention of Chris Rea and he's superb
I love this song! Yes, I am a Texan and thus biased. But, it is the voice, the melody, the tempo that I truly love. And, of course, it is about Texas. Come and visit y'all.
I worked at a job for a couple of years where they would send me out with a truck and loaded trailer about twice a month to Mineral Wells, about an hour west of Fort Worth. I would get out in the countryside, heading west on that big, long road, put this song on, and simply weep for joy. Texas.
not born here but Texan for over 40 years now. this song makes me emotional about my adopted home every single time I listen to it. brilliant lyrics, soulful voice and just incredible slide playing. I actually found Chris when his song "working on it" was the background for a Miami Vice scene of a large drug carrying boat going up the Intercoastal. check that song out
This album "Road to hell" is an absolute masterpiece !! Just incredible 🙏 And this Canadian cowboy might have to move to Texas...if this clown show continues much longer..I miss being amongst salt of the earth Patriots 🤝
This song is a rarity. One that you can replay again and again, and it's like you've heard it for the the very first time. And just can hardly wait to play it again. It's music with magic. Thsnk you, Chris, and bless you for touching our soul (and heart)
I'm in a bar, having drinks, and decided to play music of the states I've been in. Found this beauty!!! He does a nice christmas song too...driving home for christmas
I was given this album on cassette and was blown away. Ihave been a big fan ever since. Chris Rea is the greatest songwriter to come out of these lands alongside Richard Hawley. It's criminal they have not been recognised by the Brits! The whole Road to Hell album conjures up so many images in your head. It's a journey of everything that is wrong in our society. Atrue concept album.
@@michaelfarrington7719 I'm hoping you still have your cassette!! I really believe that one of the best days of my life was the day back in November of 1989 when I heard the song (long version -1&2) of the Road To Hell. I was blown away by his voice, the BIG sound, and could understand every word in the songs. I still to this day have this cd, but its about the 15th one I've owned. Funny thing is, back in the day I had a cassette player in my ride, so I recorded from cd to cassette. I still have that original cassette. Just played it in an old cassette boombox for nostalgia sake last week. The Road To Hell cd has some of my favorite songs, such as Texas. I love practically everything from Chris. I often say if I could write sing and play music. It would be exactly as he has done...wouldnt change a single thing because he wrote and sang all his wonderful songs for me. Hope you are getting through these troubled times okay my brother. You may remember a song from way back in 1967 by Eric Burdon and the Animals. Dark song but worth hearing. Called The Black Plague. I got into this group but it change to "WAR" during my time in the Vietnam Mekong delta. Enjoy the head food if you've got it.
Live love Texas! And bold yes - Texas is not geographic location, its state of mind, shape of soul. Thank you Chris for your talent. All your songs are for real, all emotions are true. Real bluesman, nothing else to say...
@@markalexander4641 You joke! Where do you get your information, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez? Where did 1-6-21 enter the question? Don't speak for Chris Rea you goof,unless you are his agent? I'm a native Texan and have been voting for 40 years. Showing an I.D. is far easier for those who choose to vote than having to show your voter registration card, driver license, have them compare signatures and then being allowed to vote. Plus, if someone was not thoughtful enough to register to vote and shows up to vote, time is taken to register that person and that delays the entire process. I have experienced all of this and i.d. voting is easier. If you are too incompetent to get an i.d. and /or get a ride to the poles, then you just don't want to vote bad enough. The rules are the same for everyone, regardless of race. Where do you live, Disney World? Anyone with a Geraldo Rivera mustache like you have is dubious, at best. Oh, I'm not necessarily contacting you. I'm just pointing out to others who may read this how wrong you are.

Almost wore this track out when the Road to Hell album was released . Great memories of road trips out with my wife and young children . Still play this song daily .
The song is about a family leaving the former East Germany for Texas in America for a better life. I have been to Texas many times as a child. I have been to El Paso, Dallas, Ft. Worth and many other cities and town. I can relate to song.
Texas born and raised. Heard this song a couple of years ago while in an academy class. One of the best songs out there. It took spotify awhile, but they finally added it.
A song about escaping to a better place. The place could be Texas, or anywhere else for that matter. This is the first time I've seen the video. Escaping to a better place in a Trabant.
Texas! ...She says: "what?" I said, Texas, ... she says: "what?" ...they've got big long roads out there... ... I've lived in TX for 25 years .... a lot has changed over the years but there still is no place like Texas! The only way to understand is to live here.
I live just east of Dallas. Our big/ long(est) Road is from I-10 (el paso) to the Beaumont area near Louisiana. The a close call of I-20 and I-35. Takes roughly 1.5 days to go from El Paso to Louisiana lol
Weird how memory works... What am I doing here? Not hearing or thinking about this song for a quarter of a century, and suddenly it popped into my mind with all the lyrics and I had to find it... Enjoying it still, this song is like being inside someone's dream
Hearing this in San Antonio, Texas of all places and playing this song by Chris Rea is great and in 2021 at that makes it great even better for me.. Wow it's a great experience and in the United States of America yes!!
Having spent time in "West Germany" in the early '80s I really appreciate this video. It really looks like the "Trabbi" they were traveling in broke down in what we referred to as an LTA and I have spent countless hours in M151A2 Jeeps, M35A2 "Deuce-and-a-half" trucks, and M113A2 APCs (Armored Personnel Carriers) which were featured coming to the rescue. My heart always goes out to people who live under oppressive and tyrannical governments so when I watch this video, I make sure to have a tissue to wipe my eyes nearby...
I love this song and I love my great state of Texas! I am lucky enough to have been born a Texan and thank my lucky stars for it, or should I say, Lone Star for it!!
You're quite right. Texas as a mythical "better place" as you put it, came into existence when the "Dallas" TV show was first aired in the former Eastern Bloc.
@@IGLArocknroll People have dreamed about Texas since the 1820's. Americans left the United States to become Mexican citizens of Texas. When David Crockett lost his seat as a Congressman representing Tennessee he gave quite a speech to his constituents, saying "As you have chosen to replace me with a man with a timber toe (wooden leg) you may all go to Hell, and I shall go to Texas!"
One of the most brilliant song we have ever heard in our life God bless Chris we know he has a birthday coming we love you my brother thank you Costa Mesa California we love you don’t forget it please my friend cheers My Brother
Love San Antonio, hope to go back there some day been trying to learn Texas by Chris Rea, have a good friend who plays in Mad Dogs , look him up he's a brilliant guitarist and singer his name is Chris Boss,....
God bless Chris Rea that song always kills us that man is an amazing brilliant artist God bless Chris Rea Chris we love you here in Costa Mesa my brother thank you
Yes they are! Not to mention the Deserts Arizona and Nevada and one of the biggest Hot Spots Florida! CAN YOU BLAME THEM? Oh I forgot Tennessee and South Dakota! 🚛 🏜🏝🏖🏞
Just an old southern boy from South Carolina who was raised to show respect. I still hold the door open for everyone behind me, no matter who they are or what they look like. I have met thousands of people during my life. One thing I can attest to and that is that every time I am around anyone from Texas, I always feel right at home.....respect.
I was born and raised in Arizona, worked in the oil fields in Texas back in the mid eighties and never seen so much hate in my life, finally figured out what my Okie grandfather meant when he said they stack shit high in Texas.
Yeah, it's all gone crazy since 1955 when I woke up in Downtown Dallas. She said you're in Texas. I said good. It's October 2020. That woman who brought me here is gone. But I'm still here. I'm in Downtown Dallas. I'm in Texas. Watch me walkin.
Just close your eye's and hear that sound ..........Warm winds blowin .......heating blue sky...........and a road that goes forever ..............who could ask for more ..............heaven ...
I heard this song for the first time on 10/5/18 and couldn't believe it was from the 80s because it seems so timeless. Makes me want to road trip through Texas, and reminds me of a great film called "Paris, Texas".
This song has resonated with me for over 20 years. For some reason we can’t get it to load on Amazon music or on Apple Music. It’s been replaced by some other chris rea song entitled Texas Not sure why.
MadMadWorld Yeah, it's all gone crazy since 1955 when I woke up in Downtown Dallas. She said you're in Texas. I said good. It's October 2020. That woman who brought me here is gone. But I'm still here. I'm in Downtown Dallas. I'm in Texas. Watch me walkin.
I served ,proudly in the Texas Army National Guard & I have to say, This is a very fair representation of the local military here, helping others out. Thats what the True military Is about! The evil media will make you think otherwise however The people who serve ARE about loyalty,Respect & Honor. Thank You Chris for making a solid video about my great home State! Just dont move here! LoL

State of mind for 50 years now!
And 50 more years plus!
Maybe 100 years or more!
I time travel!
Just an old southern boy from South Carolina who was raised to show respect. I still hold the door open for everyone behind me, no matter who they are or what they look like. I have met thousands of people during my life. One thing I can attest to and that is that every time I am around anyone from Texas, I always feel right at home.....respect.
I was born and raised in Arizona, worked in the oil fields in Texas back in the mid eighties and never seen so much hate in my life, finally figured out what my Okie grandfather meant when he said they stack shit high in Texas.
My Dad was in the Army in the 60s - 80s. He always said the trees and hills of western South Carolina reminded him most of East Texas.
Yeah, it's all gone crazy since 1955 when I woke up in Downtown Dallas.
She said you're in Texas. I said good.
It's October 2020. That woman who brought me here is gone.
But I'm still here. I'm in Downtown Dallas. I'm in Texas. Watch me walkin.
Texas, the true heart of genuine good folk, the Lone Star state, blessed and sacred ground.
One of the best songs ever. Amazing voice too❤
I'm from Texas. Best song ever. Big steaks, big cars, no trouble here...And he's right about the roads.
Hi from Scotland,have a listen to Chris,,,,,,,,,,Set Me Free,,,,,,,Heaven,,,,,,,And You My Love,,,,,,,On The Beach
Гениальный музыкант-гитарист. Очень нравится творчество Криса Ри. 💐💐💐💐💐
"Brilliant musician-guitarist. I really like Chris Rea's work.💐💐💐💐💐"
Living in San Antonio,Texas puts this just right!!
Just close your eye's and hear that sound ..........Warm winds blowin .......heating blue sky...........and a road that goes forever ..............who could ask for more ..............heaven ...
I heard this song for the first time on 10/5/18 and couldn't believe it was from the 80s because it seems so timeless. Makes me want to road trip through Texas, and reminds me of a great film called "Paris, Texas".
Soundtrack of that film was awesome
Harry Dean Stanton was awesome. How much he conveyed with just a look.
Man, every time I hear this song, I get goosebumps. I LOVE Texas (and live here too).
Got the Trabant 601s in before U2. Nice one Chris. Just listen to the slide.... classic!
КРИС - МИРОВАЯ КЛАССИКА . виртуозная игра на гитаре + голос = высший пилотаж !!!!!
Ещё какой изобретательный виртуоз. У Криса Ни нет ни одной одинаковой муз композиции и песни!!!
"CHRIS - WORLD CLASSICS. virtuoso guitar playing + voice = aerobatics !!!!!"
This song has resonated with me for over 20 years. For some reason we can’t get it to load on Amazon music or on Apple Music. It’s been replaced by some other chris rea song entitled Texas Not sure why.
played this song on cd repeatedly as I left Las Vegas after 14 years, going back to Dallas just as fast as the Acura would take me!!!!
Welcome home!
I know the feeling, felt like kissing the ground once i arrived from a stint in s. Florida.
I traveled from Rosenberg tx to San Antonio in my mustang goin 120 mph the whole way and jammin whole way

San Antonio,Texas playing this great song by Chris Rea!!!
I served ,proudly in the Texas Army National Guard & I have to say, This is a very fair representation of the local military here, helping others out.
Thats what the True military Is about!
The evil media will make you think otherwise however
The people who serve ARE about loyalty,Respect & Honor.
Thank You Chris for making a solid video about my great home State!
Just dont move here! LoL
Yes FAKE fox IS the evil media,i agree,LOL.
