Lyrics

Texas
Oh, that's where I belong, it seems to me
A lonesome star, shine on the big country
With open skies and you for company
Oh, prairie rose, how happy I should be
(Ah, hey)
I'd better leave right away
(Ah, hey)
I'll be coming and you'll see
(Ah, hey)
Oh, what a state to be in
(Ah, hey)
You're tantalizing me
Texas
I will compose
In fancy rhyme or just plain prose
A song of praise to you, my prairie rose
Though I'm not sure
I can explain your strange allure
(Your strange allure)
A prairie rose, a crown of thorns, a scented flower
(Ah, hey)
I'd better leave right away
(Ah, hey)
I'll be coming and you'll see
(Ah, hey)
Oh, what a state to be in
(Ah, hey)
You're tantalizing me
Texas
Oh, that's where I belong, it seems to me
A lonesome star, shine on the big country
With open skies and you for company (company)
Oh, prairie rose, how happy I should be
(Ah, hey)
I'd better leave right away
(Ah, hey)
I'll be coming and you'll see
(Ah, hey)
What a state
Prairie rose
(Ah, hey, hey)
Prairie rose
(Ah, hey, hey)
Prairie rose, prairie rose
(Hey, hey, hey)
(Ah, hey, ah, hey, ah, hey, ah)
Prairie rose, prairie rose
(Hey, hey)
Prairie rose, prairie rose
(Hey, hey)
Prairie rose, prairie rose
(Hey, hey)
Prairie rose, prairie rose, prairie rose
(Hey, hey, hey)
Prairie rose, rose, prairie rose
Prairie rose, prairie rose
(Hey, hey, hey)
Prairie rose, rose, prairie rose
Prairie rose, prairie rose
