Sons of Texas - Baptized in the Rio Grande chords
Start Jamming...
So my name's Levis.
That was right.
Well this song, you know the song, it's a little homage to home.
We wrote it knowing, we were already in that whole signing thing, we were in the process of being signed.
And we really wanted this song to kind of reflect on where we came from and the whole idea of, you know, not really having to come from a hotbed of music.
Like Austin, Texas, you know what I mean?
Everyone always told us, you guys are good, you guys are good, but you need to move to Austin because you're not going to get anywhere down in the RGV.
And you know, lo and behold, this ended up happening.
We were active all across the state, going back and forth, back and forth.
Often times going for broke, man, up to Austin, San Antonio, coming right back to go to work.
And you know, we finally caught some attention, man.
You know, people had our second year and someone from Red Bull Records heard us and they passed it along, passed it along, handed it to the right hands.
And you know, fast forward a couple months later, we're starting to raise your entire record.
So, the song is called Long Wish to Home and it's essentially just about pride and perseverance, man.
The song is called [Ab] Baptize in the Real Grave.
