A Little House in Texas (NYTEX)

A Little House in Texas

By Russell Farris

A little house in Texas
That once was dark and dreary
Broken windows, dried up ice
Once held a bankers misery

While raging in a nearby town
A fight for life and home
Turned out into the darkness
No place to call their own

Heart and hope were kept alive
By the true and the faithful
Not knowing at the time
A destiny only known in fables

Those once cast into the darkness
Found light in that little house
Old friends and new, they came together
The crowds grew by word of mouth

New battles raged within its walls
Cowbells heard for miles around
Stomping feet, and calls for chicken meat
Couldn't raze that house to ground

Clashing sticks, blood and ice
Two years that war was fought
Bringing tears and screams of joy
For the one goal that they had sought

Tonight we gather hand in hand
Our friends and warriors we lift up
And that little house, once dark and dreary
Is now home to a shiny cup
