I'm [E] Cleto, and we're the Flatland Cavalry, and this is the Texas Music Scene.
[A] Flatland Cavalry packed the house at the Mark in San Marcos for their Texas Music Scene
[E] session as they showed off a few live versions of songs from their 2019 album they [A] titled Homeland Insecurity.
The crowd and the band [E] had a blast.
It just so happens that we pushed record button on all the [A] cameras.
Old school.
And that one's just kind of about being [E] proud of where you come from.
And my folks have been married for over 30 years, and [G] they had seven kids, and the only
[Em] car they ever bought brand new was [C] on their wedding, for their [B] wedding, and it was like
an old 82 [G] pickup.
And so that song kind of just [E] deals with [D] where you come from, and you end up being just [A] like your folks.
You know, we're all people, whether you're [A] playing in Texas or Oklahoma [E] or, you know,
[A] Georgia or New York, we're all people, you [E] know, and everyone's got a story.
And kind [D] of, I think, a [A] song like this kind of connects people back to [E] their story.
Wanting to be proud of where you're from or something?
Yeah.
I think so.
