Well I'll tell you folks one thing
Hope you'll understand
I travelled from the far side to the near side of this land
And I seen it all roll out from my windshield and then
Said I'm goin' back to Texas as fast as I can
Some say home is where the heart is
It ain't a piece o' land
I say home's the heart of Texas
Just south of Austin
I'll be drivin' that old wreck
Doin' a hundred and eleven
Because Texas is the last stop before I get to heaven
Well I been up around the great lakes
And over to New England
I didn't see too many cowboy hats
Didn't hear many thank you ma'ams
And I been up around the Northwest
Where those trees are big and tall
But it always made me so sad not to hear the folks say y'all
Some say home is where the heart is
It ain't a piece o' land
I say home's the heart of Texas
Just south of Austin
I'll be drivin' that old wreck
Doin' a hundred and eleven
Because Texas is the last stop before I get to heaven
Oooweeee smell that mesquite my darlin'
Oooweeee smell that bar-b-que
Those cottonwood trees
And those cicadas singin'
They're all waitin' just to greet you
Well I've even been to Paris
And although it was great
If I'm goin' back to Paris it's the one in the lone star state
'Cause I'd only miss those honky tonks
Friendly folks and women
Yeah I'm goin' back to Texas as fast as I can
Some say home is where the heart is
It ain't a piece o' land
I say home's the heart of Texas
Just south of Austin
I'll be drivin' that old wreck
Doin' a hundred and eleven
Because Texas is the last stop before I get to heaven
Texas is the last stop before I get to heaven
