Leavin' Texas
Jerry Jeff Walker · 20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection: The Best Of Jerry Je [2010]
Texas this morning the sounds they just sing to me
I feel alive again and with every footstep that's settin me free
Hey old friends,
keep alive the good times we've had in those rollin',
rollin' hills
They will always be a part of me
whenever I think of Texas memories
CHORUS
Oh Texas I'm just a little lost but I'm keepin' on,
Just like that morning star, that's ahead of me,
I keep shinin' on
'til I make it to the borders of the Rio Grande
There I'll catch me one last sunset 'cross the prairie
Well everything is movin right, so movin's right
Still I can't deny that old loneliness that comes sometimes
But every mile and footstep goin' down
Ain't no way a man keeps a count,
you just never forget that lonely stretch
where you keep on for keepin on
CHORUS x 2
