Well, I'll tell you folks one thing Hope you'll understand I've travelled from the far side to the near side of this land And I've seen it all roll out from my windshield and then So I'm going back to Texas As fast as I can
Some say home is where the heart is It ain't no piece of land I say home is the heart of Texas Just south of Austin
Now I'll be driving that old wreck Doin' a hundred and eleven Because Texas is the last stop Before I get to hеaven
Well I've been around thе Great lakes And over to New England Didn't see too many cowboy hats Didn't hear many: Thank you, ma'ams
And I've been up around the Northwest Where those trees are big and tall But it always made me so sad Not to hear the folks say y'all (Y'all)
Some say home is where the heart is It ain't no piece of land I say home is the heart of Texas Just south of Austin Now I'll be driving that old wreck Doin' a hundred and eleven Because Texas is the last stop Before I get to heaven
Come on, [?] [?] OO-hei, smell that mesquite darling OO-hei, smell that barbecue Those cotton wood tress And those cicadas singing They're all waiting just to greet you
Well, I've ever been to Paris And although it was great If I'm going back to Paris It's the one in the Lone Star State
'Cause I'd only miss those honky-tonks Friendly folks, and women Yeah I'm going back to Texas As fast as I can (Here I come)
Some say home is where the heart is It ain't no piece of land I say home is the heart of Texas Just south of Austin Now I'll be driving that old wreck Doin' a hundred and eleven
Because Texas is the last stop Before I get to heaven
