I woke up this mornin', to the sound of coyotes howlin' free Out in the open range, where the wildflowers bloom and be I'm a cowboy, ridin' solo, with the wind in my hair Livin' life on my own terms, with the stars shinin' bright and fair I'm in the Lone Star State of mind Where the skies are big and the hearts are kind I'm a product of the land, where the cattle roam I'll ride these open ranges, till my dying day back home My granddaddy was a rancher, and his daddy too We worked the land and raised our families, with a love that's true We'll keep on ridin', and ropin' steers With the spirit of the West, and the heart of our pioneers I'm in the Lone Star State of mind Where the skies are big and the hearts are kind I'm a product of the land, where the cattle roam I'll ride these open ranges, till my dying day back home
