Well now Texas, I am just a little lost and beaten' down
Hell like a morning star thats ahead of me I am fadin' out
But If I make it to the borders of that Rio Grande
Guess I can make it for one last sunset 'cross the prarie
Texas this morning the sounds they just sing to me
'cause I am alive again and with every footstep sett'n me free
If I keep my smile in touch with you the good times we spent in those hills
They will always be a part of me as I live in my Texas Memory
Oh Texas I am just a little lost and beatn' down
but like that morning star thats ahead of me that's fadin' out
I just hope I make it to the borders of the Rio Grande
So I can catch me one last sunset across the Prarie
same as chorus except last line is like last line of 2nd verse)
I see everything seems to be movin on so I am movin on
I don't deny I get a loneliness that comes sometimes
and all the miles and all the footsteps going down aint' how I keep a count,
for every lonely stretch where I just kept on for keepin' on.
