Jerry Jeff Walker – Leavin' Texas lyrics

Well now Texas, I am just a little lost and beaten' down
Hell like a morning star that's ahead of me I am fadin' out
But If I make it to the borders of that Rio Grande
Guess I can make it for one last sunset 'cross the prarie

Texas this morning the sounds they just sing to me
'Cause I am alive again and with every footstep settin me free
If I keep my smile in touch with you
The good times we spent in those hills
They will always be a part of me as I live in my Texas Memory

CHORUS:
Oh Texas I am just a little lost and beatn' down
But like that morning star thats ahead of me that's fadin' out
I just hope I make it to the borders of the Rio Grande
So I can catch me one last sunset across the Prarie

I see everything seems to be movn on so I am movn on
I don't deny I get a loneliness that comes sometimes
And all the miles and all the footsteps going down
Ain't' how I keep a count, for every lonly stretch
For I just kept on for keepin' on

CHORUS 2x
