    The Hardest Things About Living Away From Texas

    Being a Tex-pat can be really hard sometimes.

    At some point you know it's time to leave Texas and you feel awful

    When you arrive at your new home you realize the local customs are odd

    They try to tell you this is tea

    So you gotta make your own

    A breakfast wrap is not a breakfast taco

    Barbecue becomes some kind of fancy pants ritual

    The crazy starts to set in pretty quickly when you realize after you eat you gotta talk to these new people

    People ask you to repeat yourself often even though you're speaking English to them

    It's like we're speaking an entirely different language sometimes

    Our minds wander back to food again and all the places we miss

    I miss you, TC's

    Whataburger. Whataheartache.

    This might hurt the most

    There's nobody cool to tell you not to litter when you finish eating your fast food

    You gotta explain that this is not necessarily a sign of devil worship

    If you're from San Antonio you have to clear up some things about the Alamo's location

    And if you're from Austin you've got to explain Hippie Hollow very carefully

    Folks from Dallas know what this one's all about

    Houstonians shouldn't have to apologize for having a team, but here we are

    Even conspiracy theorists and fans of the supernatural will bother you if you're from Texas

    You're always thinking about the magical stuff you miss back home

    And even if you never move home...

    ...you know that if there is a heaven...

    ...you know it's there...

    ...deep in the heart of Texas!

    ... CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP!
