I've been to many places in my great country
Seen many beautiful sights
How much dust is left behind
Only my boots know the fight

Many days away from home and my native land
I've sung hundreds of songs
The strings of my guitar are worn out
But I still play 'em all night long

Left behind me are Louisiana, Oklahoma, and Kansas
They are good in their own way
But God wanted me to return to Texas
Where my heart feels free to stay

Thunderstorms, rains, and winds, they're my companions
On this endless winding road
The journey may be tough, but it's the one that's leading
To my humble Texas abode

I've crossed rivers wide and mountains high
Through valleys deep and plains
Each mile brings me closer now
Through sunshine and through rains

But the highway signs whisper your name
Like a sweet old melody
Every mile I'm closer to your arms
Where I'm truly meant to be

Left behind me are Louisiana, Oklahoma, and Kansas
They are good in their own way
But God wanted me Aaa to return to Texas
Where my heart feels free to stay
