Goin' Back to Texas

I started out from Texas about a year ago
I started out to make myself a name
I'm going back to Texas, my heart is sad and sore
My weary feet are gettin' mighty lame

I'm going back to my good old Texas home, home, home
Down by the sleepy Rio Grande
Where the lonesome turtledove is grievin'
And the moon is shinin' on the sand
Going back where the longhorn cattle roam, roam, roam
And your best friend is your bronco and your gun
And you know I'll never more be leavin'
Texas, all my ramblin' days are done

All around this city, could not find a friend
Looking for someone that I know
Never mind your pity, I don't need it, friend
Going home, never more to roam

I'm going back to my good old Texas home, home, home
Down by the sleepy Rio Grande
Where the lonesome turtledove is grievin'
And the moon is shinin' on the sand
Going back where the longhorn cattle roam, roam, roam
And your best friend is your bronco and your gun
And you know I'll never more be leavin'
Texas, all my ramblin' days are done

Give me back my saddle and give me back my gun
And give me back that good old bronco of mine
Give me back that campfire when the day is done
I want to hear that lonesome coyote whine

I'm going back to my good old Texas home, home, home
Down by the sleepy Rio Grande
Where the lonesome turtledove is grievin'
And the moon is shinin' on the sand
Going back where the longhorn cattle roam, roam, roam
And your best friend is your bronco and your gun
And you know I'll never more be leavin'
Texas, all my ramblin' days are done
Texas, all my ramblin' days are done
