I grew up in Texas, when I was seventeennGave my heart to a rodeo ridernBest lookin' thing I'd seennHe took as far as DallasnI'd never been that far beforenHe told me that he loved menBut he loved his freedom morenn[chorus]nThere's a heartache, deep in the heart of TexasnThere's a yellow rose witherin' on the vinenThere's a heartache, deep in the heart of TexasnIt takes more than a woman to change a cowboys mindnnSo I went back to HoustonnThinkin' he'd come home somedaynThe home is where your heart isnAnd his is miles awaynSome heartaches you get overnAnd some just a go with timenIt takes a place as big as TexasnTo hold a heartache big as minenn[chorus x2 to fade]
