Sweet Mother Texas

Lyrics

Read me and raised me Your native son Haven't forgiven the wrongs that I've done Locked up in Little Rock, broke down to the bone I'll be free tomorrow, I'm coming home [Chorus] Sweet mother Texas, rock-a-bye me I've seen all the places I wanna see It's time the soul 'round us, it is mine at ease Sweet mother Texas, rock-a-bye me [Verse 2] She laughed at my boots, and my slow Texas drawl I've been a lot but, damned if I crawl I cannot be what she wants me to me Sweet mother Texas, rock-a-bye me [Chorus] Sweet mother Texas, rock-a-bye me I've seen all the places I wanna see It's time the soul 'round us, it is mine at ease Sweet mother Texas, rock-a-bye me
