He Calls Me Texas

By Ric Carollo

Sometimes home isn't where you're born, it's where your heart decides to stay.

He Calls Me Texas is a heartfelt country love song about finding belonging in unexpected places and discovering that love doesn't care where you came from.

Told through the eyes of a Texas woman who falls for a man from somewhere else, the song captures the humor, charm, and romance of watching someone embrace a new home while never quite losing the roots that made him who he is.

The song moves through bluebonnets, back roads, summer storms, sunsets over the lake, dance halls, sweet tea, whiskey, and a man learning to two-step. Everybody else may think he is one of the locals, but she can still tell there is a little something different about him.

And she doesn't care.

What matters is that he chose this life, this land, and somehow chose her too. The song is a reminder that true love isn't measured by zip codes, accents, state lines, or where somebody first walked the dirt.

Sometimes the people who love a place the most aren't the ones who were born there, they're the ones who chose it.

At its heart, He Calls Me Texas is about love, loyalty, belonging, and finding home in another person's arms.

Sometimes a man may not be from Texas. But if he's got Texas running through his heart, that's close enough.
