[Chorus 1]
Well now, Texas, I'm just a little lost and beaten down
Like that morning star ahead of me fadin' out
But if I make it to the borders of the Rio Grande
I guess I can make it for one last sunset 'cross the prairie
[Verse 1]
In Texas this morning, the sounds, they just sing to me
I'm alive again with every footstep settin' me free
If I keep my [spine?] in touch with the good times we spent in those hills
They will always be a part of me [as a living?] Texas memory
[Chorus 2]
O Texas, I'm just a little lost and I'm beaten down
But like that morning star that's ahead of me and fadin' out
I just hope I make it to the borders of the Rio Grande
So I can catch me one last sunset 'cross the prairie
[Verse 2]
I say everything seems to be movin' on, so I'm movin' on
I don't deny I get a loneliness that comes sometimes
But all the miles and all footsteps goin' down
Ain't how I keep a count
For every lonely stretch
Where I just kept on for keepin' on
[Chorus 3]
O Texas, I'm just a little lost and beaten down
But like that morning star in front of me, it's gonna guide me home
Just [cut me?] to the borders of the Rio Grande
I'll just catch me one last sunset 'cross the prairie
[Chorus 4]
Oh now Texas, I'm just a little lost and I'm beaten on
But like that morning star fadin' out, I'm still keepin' on
If I just make it to the border, the borders of the Rio Grande
And I'm gonna catch me one last sunset 'cross Texas prairie
