Texas Home

I left my boots by the big river
Chasin' dreams across this land
But every mile just felt so wrong
'Cause my heart stayed where I belong

I miss the stars in that big ol' sky
The coyote's call and the whippoorwill's cry
Barbecue smoke and a front porch light
Mama's voice sayin': You all right?

Take me back to my Texas home
Where the winds sing soft and the wildflowers grow
Where the road is red and my soul runs free
That lone star shines just for me
No matter how far I roam
I'll always belong to my Texas home

I've seen the Rockies and the ocean tide
Danced in cities with neon pride
But nothing beats that open plain
And the sound of a fiddle in the summer rain

Take me back to my Texas home
Where the winds sing soft and the wildflowers grow
Where the road is red and my soul runs free
That lone star shines just for me
No matter how far I roam
I'll always belong to my Texas home

There's a church bell ringin' on Sunday morn
Cornbread bakin' and the bluebonnets born
I close my eyes and I'm there again
With a southern drawl and my old-time friends

Take me back to my Texas home
Where the winds sing soft and the wildflowers grow
Where the road is red and my soul runs free
That lone star shines just for me
No matter how far I roam
I'll always belong to my Texas home

Yeah, no matter how far I roam
My boots come walkin' back to my Texas home
