Texas
Spongebob Squarepants Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Wish I was back in Texas,
The ocean's no place for a squirrel,
Wish I was in Texas,
Prettiest place in the world, oh no.
I guess deep in my heart I'll always be a Texas girl
I wanna go home, home, home, oh
Yoldle ay e oh, yodle ay e oh, yodle ay e oh, a lay-ee, a lay-ee.

I wanna wake up in Texas
I miss those wide open skies.
I miss my 20 acres, bar-b-ques,
And pecan pies, oh why?

When I'm so far from you, Texas, all I can do-o is cry.
I wanna go ho-oome,

Ho-oome
I wanna go ho-ome!
