I heard a lonely coyote a-howling for his mate
I took the blues and packed my shoes and left the Lonestar State
I thought if I could ride away that I would lose my blues
But I found out this Texas soil is sticking to my shoes
I'm headed back,
I've got the Texas Blues
I don't know why it happens when I open up my mouth
Some pretty looks and hollers hey are you from the South
they laugh at all my hey-y-alls each time that I speak
and what's more, this foreign soil is burning both my feet
I'm headed back,
I've got the Texas Blues
They showed my all their cities with the buildings way up high
They're built that way to swing and sway and dust out all the sky
They got me out of Texas, so I could really see
You bet they'll play the dickens, getting Texas outa me
I'm headed back,
I've got the Texas Blues
I heard a lonely coyote a-howling for his mate
I took the blues and packed my shoes and left the Lonestar State
I thought if I could ride away that I would lose my blues
But I found out this Texas soil is sticking to my shoes
I'm headed back,
I've got the Texas Blues
I'm headed back,
I've got the Texas Blues
