I  can see that lone  star from a thousand  miles away
Calling  me back home  though I've ventured  far astray
When  I see that beacon  shining for  me all alone
It  calls me back to Texas  and to home
Lone star  shine down on my  home  town
Fill my memory light my way
 Cattle  in the old  corral, the open  range all 'round
Sunlight  and the smell  of new  mowed hay
 I remember  though I've wandered  and much happiness  I've found
 Still I wish  that I could be  back there today
 I know  my home is waiting  for me by  the river shore
 I know  that all the ones  I love will welcome  me once more
 In dreams  I see them now  though it seems  I'm bound to roam
 My thoughts  are still of Texas  and of  home
 (Instrumental break)
 Cattle in the old corral, the open range all 'round
 Sunlight and the smell of new mown hay
 I remember though I've wandered and much happiness I've found
 Still I wish that I could be back there today
 I know my home is waiting for me by the river shore
 I know that all the ones I love will welcome me once more
 In dreams I see them now though it seems I'm bound to roam
 My thoughts are still of Texas and of home
