My home's in Texas

What am I doin' up here?

My home's in Texas

What am I doin' up here?

Yes, my good corn whiskey

Baby, an women brought me here

Well, I'm goin' back to Texas

Just to ride this Texas train

I'm goin' back to Texas

Just to ride this Texas train

I'm goin' to Texas

Just to be on the devil's range

I love, Texas

That is a place for me

I love, Texas

That is a place for me

I got a sweet gal there

That means so much to me

'A-pick 'em Mr. Maceo'

(piano & guitar)

When I left Texas

Well, she begged me not to go

When I left Texas

Well, she begged me not to go

But if I ever get back to Texas

Love, I won't be bad no mo'.
