About This Song


Country, not pop
I was doing an experiment. I asked my Facebook friends if they preferred simple or more complex and detailed songs. Surprisingly, the majority of answers was for simple.



I wrote this simple song about long distance relationships. In a time of online dating with possibility of deception and of time apart, this is what I came up with.

Love the vibe and the way you tapped into the current “state of affairs” in the dating world. Great title and drew me in to listen. Bravo!

Thanks. I’ve never done the online thing, but have been in the long distance. I had fun with it.

Hi Jennifer! No;  I let the demo studio choose my singers for me.
I used to sing in church and will sing my scratch tapes. Funny thing is that my own brother thought the rock version of Tears Out On The Wind was me. It’s not, but Tiffany and I do sound similar.

Long Way Across Texas

Written by DeeDee Beeler

Typical west Texas two lane
And a flat horizon skyline
I can see for miles and it all looks the same
It’s got me thinkin’ ‘bout you and the things you say

And it’s a long way across Texas
I wonder would you go
One mile and then another
Just to get to my front door
Prove the things you’ve been sayin’ to me
Show me, babey, what it means to be in love with me

‘Cause you tell me that you love me
And that you’d give anything
‘Cause I’m everything but in your arms
You say I’m every man’s dream
And you wonder what I’m doin’ all alone
Ha!
Same thing I wanna know

And it’s a long way across Texas
I wonder would you go
One mile and then another
Just to get to my front door
Prove the things you’ve been sayin to me
Show me, babey, what it means to be in love with me

Oh you and me

This is where the rubber meets the road
So I’m callin’ your bluff
Or I’m callin’ you home
What’s it gonna be?
I guess I’ll wait and see

Cause it’s a long way across Texas
I wonder would you go
One mile and then another
Just to get to my front door
Prove the things you’ve been sayin’ to me
Show me, maybe, what it means to be in love with me

Hey you! It’s me! C’mon!
