When me and my mom moved to the Texas pandhandle in 1980, one of our new neighbors warned us that if we stayed long enough to wear out a pair of shoes, we'd never leave. She was right.
I had to move to Mississippi from my home town of Lubbock for a new job a few months ago, and I havnt been able to go visit Lubbock or my family since. This song choked me up, Flatland Calvary is the sound of West Texas! There’s a good chance that the band won’t read this, but if y’all do tell Scott Farris that Cody DuBois from Fox34 says hi!
This comment made me sad 💔😩😭 sitting in my bed rn bout to cook dinner at home in Lubbock Texas, been thinking of moving to San Antonio Texas 😔 im going because my kids dad is moving there in a year and i cant live w out my kids😭😭😭💔💔💔💔 so im following them there and i have to be happy for them.. i just don't know if i will be Because this is home😩😭😔😒
I graduated from Monterey HS in Lubbock, only 3 HS's at the time. I was from CA. Dad was a Col in the USAF at Reese AFB. Only 2 yrs in Lubbock, but great memories. Beautiful girlfriend, good friends & the Hi-D-Ho. I went back to CA for college, then the EU, Vietnam, CA & now 2.5 years ago moved moved back to TX, SW of FW. Yeeehaaa. 🤠
Never seen a longer sunset than that of last night outside of Lubbock- 1/12/2023 and yes, goddamn, it was as beautiful as the slumber next to my lover in the back of an 18 wheeler rig.
@@verminscum your right is not as big as Dallas, Houston or hell even Galveston BUT it's still a rather big city. Then again, this is also coming from a guy (me) who has been in small towns for most of his life
@@christophervargas305 bruh, lubbock has over a quater million people in it, and more in the surrounding areas. Galveston only has a pop of 50k xD so its about 5x larger than galveston lmao
I work here in west Texas and being out here for 5 years it feels like home and these songs hit me in the heart and I’m from texas but not Lubbock. It’s amazing to know this talent is from my state. And better yet that I can relate to many of their songs
Moved here from Ventura during the Pandemic. Was at UCSB, top school, traded for Tech. Love Lubbock. Unfortunately, Tech mandates DEI, so headed to Florida. Too bad. This town rocks.
gosh I knew that I knew that voice from somewhere. Had to go back and look him up. First discovered him a few yeara ago with the song “Tall City Blues” from Flatland Cavalry. One of my favorite country songs of all time.
Please stay true to yourself and true to your style of music and don't get too mainstream with your sound! You have a way of hitting right at people's ears so well. Love this style
Really fine. Beautifully written, well-sung. I've never been to Lubbock, but it's had a place in me since the rise of Buddy Holly in about '57. This song is so evocative, I have a strong sense of the place I've never been.
I hated "Lubbick" in 2019.. I went there to do Buddy Holly hall of performing arts and sciences interior walls..a 1 year project.. I stayed,,3yrs .. Lubbock changed my life. I'm from Georgia beaches folks. West Texas is another world. ( Always count your blessings..even in the moment Lubbock Texas
Nice song brother. Thanks for posting. Been a long time gone now, but LBK is where I grew up and I call it my hometown. Spent many nights hanging out at all the haunts but Adolph's was a go to. Anywhere that had good Karaoke really. Memories. I can almost smell that eastern wind now. Miss ya L-town!
I HAVE seen a prettier sunset sky. Twice, and they were both in the middle of the pacific off the back of the USS Kitty Hawk. When I was done with that, I came back home.😉

I’m from here. This is the best comment I’ve ever seen.
🥰💜
3 years later and I still love this song. I didn’t grow up in Lubbock but it will always be home.
Me too! Born and raised in Brownfield and Lubbock has always held a special place in my heart. Moved away in '92 moved back "Home" 27 years later 🥰💜
I'm from Lubbock, family is still there. I do miss the sunsets, open skies, Red Raiders. But I miss my family the most. Great song.
need this song on an album, been pining for it since 2019.
@Daxtyn Cornelius wondered the same thing, I pre ordered it and then noticed it wasn't on there.
“Damaged goods” would be nice on an album as well
Hell I’m still waitin

This kid is as talented as any singer I've heard in a long time. Excellent
Hell of a writer too. Pure talent running through Cleto.
Doesn't look like a kid. Looks like a grown man.
@@teddillon7739 of course he's a grown man, but when you're my age anyone under 30 is a 'kid".
@quinbagwell7515 I know what you meant and where your heart is at. But words matter and this new generation needs to know more than ever
He’s a brilliant songwriter
Im a senior at Tech and a DFW native and now that I'm getting close to leaving I realized how much I love it
Born and raised in Lubbock today is my birthday just found this song today because I looked up Lubbock because there was a piece of me missing home
Even when you’re gone, when you miss it. You’re home
Lubbock native here. :3 I was a truck driver for a year and I never thought I'd miss home so bad lol
If you’ve never spent time out there, you just won’t get it. It’s a town unlike any other! So many great memories in LBK!
Never seen a longer sunset than that of last night outside of Lubbock- 1/12/2023 and yes, goddamn, it was as beautiful as the slumber next to my lover in the back of an 18 wheeler rig.
Llano Estacado baby! Miss Lubbock every day, hope to get back one day.
I love IT and I love West Texas too.
Nice to see some Lubbock representation
Lubbock is forgotten when it comes to big cities in Texas
We have a surprising amount of songs dedicated, not to mention Buddy Holly or Mac Davis who put us on the map
@@christophervargas305 probably because its not a big city? lmao, no one who lives here considers it a big city at all

This is beautiful song! When I first moved to Lubbock the first thing that stood out to me was the gorgeous sunset :) thank you for this song
Every song is awesome
Your music is so underrated and your songs have got me through some hard times.. hope you get big. You've earned it.
I just saw this . You are great . You will be big in country music. You make us proud because you sing country..
Little breeze! Haha like a cat 5 hurricane! Been here all my life. Nice song.

I listen to this daily. Moved from Lubbock to San Antonio last summer. God Bless West Texas!
HOME. Headed there this afternoon for Christmas! Love it.
gosh I knew that I knew that voice from somewhere. Had to go back and look him up. First discovered him a few yeara ago with the song “Tall City Blues” from Flatland Cavalry. One of my favorite country songs of all time.
Always listen to this when I miss home and the girl I fell in love with there that I left it for

Currently in Jordan on deployment really needed this miss home just a bit?
Idk why but us Lubbock natives love our city and state more than most of other Texans. We are top tier Texas pride
I call Lubbock as part of my territory. I’m an okie but I love Lubbock.
We need this released
Thought of James Taylor with this song.
I hated "Lubbick" in 2019..
I went there to do Buddy Holly hall of performing arts and sciences interior walls..a 1 year project..
I stayed,,3yrs ..
Lubbock changed my life.
I'm from Georgia beaches folks.
West Texas is another world.
( Always count your blessings..even in the moment

Finally released on music streaming apps. This version is clean and simple, on Spotify it seems over produced and busy. I’ll stick with this version
this guy is awesome
Yeah , this song has me missing home too. Joined the military been gone too long...
Nice song. Lubbock is my home. I moved here in 1984 and never left.
I HAVE seen a prettier sunset sky.
Twice, and they were both in the middle of the pacific off the back of the USS Kitty Hawk.
When I was done with that, I came back home.😉
Awesome
DROP THIS NOW
Born and raised here in the LBK no town or city I rather be in I love the sunset and the open star sky this is my home❤
Currently headed west on 84

Hey thanks! If you happen to have the full lyrics that’d be awesome.
@@janklein6385 Happy to do it! If I am able to find them, I'll definitely pass them along. I wrote those down as I worked out the chorus.
What a talent this lad is… amazing song. Sound a bit like James Taylor dare I say it 😆
Lubbock TX Made Here 806
Not a fan of country but man the vocal skill is cool
Cotton and the winter macaroni high? Cotton and the wind are macaroni high? I’m lyrically challenged.
"The cotton in the wind we grow knee high" - I think
Take me home where the air is dry, and the cotton and the winter wheat gro-o-ow knee high
Yooo I’m from Lubbock
Reminds me of joe Ely
1969 i graduated from Lubbock High..
