Texas
The Highwaymen Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Listen to my song
And if you want to sing along
It's about where I belong
Texas

Sometimes far into the night
And until the morning light
I pray with all my might
To be in Texas

It's where I want to be
The only place for me
Where my spirit can be free
Texas

It's where I want to be
The only place for me
Where my spirit can be free
Texas

Listen to my song
And if you want to sing along




Its about where I belong
Texas
