No, I love country music.
I mean, one of my favorite Texas country artists just released a new album, Kacey Musgraves.
I think one of the best artists to come out of Texas in a long time.
And I think the first song that I really became familiar with from her was Merry-Go-Round.
And it's just one of the most beautifully written songs.
So I'll go ahead and say, for right now, Merry-Go-Round by Kacey Musgraves.
Inspiration.
Prophet.
Moon.
Governor.
So actually, because I think for people who grew up in Texas, like, that was how I knew George W. Bush was when he was governor, before he ever became president.
It was him as governor and Bob Bullock, a great Texas Democrat as lieutenant governor, and they were true partners and passed some pretty good policy in Texas.
Can I do two words?
Yeah.
Broken promises.
Distractions.
Hope.
Hopefully more hope.
Friendship.
Actually, the word Texas comes from a Caddo Native American word for friend.
