Texas are Scottish band fronted by singer Sharleen Spiteri. The band was founded by Johnny McElhone taking their name from the 1984 Wim Wenders movie Paris, Texas. Their musical sound went from blues rock from debut album Southside (1989), via blue eyed soul of White on Blonde (1997) to the disco pop of their most recent release Red Book (2005). Sharleen Spiteri (vocals, guitar), Ally McErlaine (guitar), Johnny McElhone (bass) have survived all line ups. In 1994, Ellen DeGeneres requested the use of the Texas track "So Called Friend" as the theme tune for her self-titled ABC Comedy Show.

Why did I give you my soul
When I knew thered be nothing in return
You forgot what its like
Now theres nowhere left to run
Maybe maybe you can hear it in the words I say
Cause I dont like what I see
And I been living with it everyday
So make it now
Or turn around and change your ways
Dont take me
Dont take me down that lonesome road again
Cause I dont think no no
O dont think that I could take the strain
Yeah Im breathing out
But I surely wont be giving in
Yeah yeah
Come on and take me on home
