leavin' texas

texas this morning the sounds they just sing to me

i feel alive again and with every footstep that's settin' me free

hey

old friends

keep alive the good times we've had in those rollin'

rollin' hills

they will always be a part of me

whenever i think of texas memories

oh texas

i'm just a little lost but i'm keepin' on

just like that morning star

that's ahead of me

i keep shinin' on

till i make it to the borders of the rio grande

there i'll catch me one last sunset 'cross the prairie

well

everything is movin' right

so movin's right

still i can't deny that old loneliness that comes sometimes

but every mile and footstep goin' down

ain't no way a man keeps a count

you just never forget that lonely stretch

where you keep on for keepin' on
