Leavin’ Texas

Lyrics

[Chorus 1] 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 [Verse 1] 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 [Chorus 2] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus 3] 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 [Chorus 4] 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
