I left my boots by the big river Chasin' dreams across this land But every mile just felt so wrong 'Cause my heart stayed where I belong I miss the stars in that big ol' sky The coyote's call and the whippoorwill's cry Barbecue smoke and a front porch light Mama's voice sayin': You all right? Take me back to my Texas home Where the winds sing soft and the wildflowers grow Where the road is red and my soul runs free That lone star shines just for me No matter how far I roam I'll always belong to my Texas home I've seen the Rockies and the ocean tide Danced in cities with neon pride But nothing beats that open plain And the sound of a fiddle in the summer rain Take me back to my Texas home Where the winds sing soft and the wildflowers grow Where the road is red and my soul runs free That lone star shines just for me No matter how far I roam I'll always belong to my Texas home There's a church bell ringin' on Sunday morn Cornbread bakin' and the bluebonnets born I close my eyes and I'm there again With a southern drawl and my old-time friends Take me back to my Texas home Where the winds sing soft and the wildflowers grow Where the road is red and my soul runs free That lone star shines just for me No matter how far I roam I'll always belong to my Texas home Yeah, no matter how far I roam My boots come walkin' back to my Texas home
