Leavin' Texas

Well now, Texas, I'm just a little lost and beaten down

Like that morning star ahead of me fadin' out

But if I make it to the borders of the Rio Grande

I guess I can make it for one last sunset 'cross the prairie

In Texas this morning, the sounds, they just sing to me

I'm alive again with every footstep settin' me free

If I keep my [spine?] in touch with the good times we spent in those hills

They will always be a part of me [as a living?] Texas memory

O Texas, I'm just a little lost and I'm beaten down

But like that morning star that's ahead of me and fadin' out

I just hope I make it to the borders of the Rio Grande

So I can catch me one last sunset 'cross the prairie

I say everything seems to be movin' on, so I'm movin' on

I don't deny I get a loneliness that comes sometimes

But all the miles and all footsteps goin' down

Ain't how I keep a count

For every lonely stretch

Where I just kept on for keepin' on

O Texas, I'm just a little lost and beaten down

But like that morning star in front of me, it's gonna guide me home

Just [cut me?] to the borders of the Rio Grande

I'll just catch me one last sunset 'cross the prairie

Oh now Texas, I'm just a little lost and I'm beaten on

But like that morning star fadin' out, I'm still keepin' on

If I just make it to the border, the borders of the Rio Grande

And I'm gonna catch me one last sunset 'cross Texas prairie
