(Texas)
Oh, that’s where I belong
It seems to me
Lonesome star shine on the big country
With open skies and you for company
Oh prairie rose
How happy I should be

Hey, hey… You can take it from me
Hey, hey… I’ll be home and you’ll see
Hey, hey… Oh what a state to be in
Hey, hey… You’re tantalizing me

(Texas)
I will compose in fancy rhyme or just plain prose
A song of praise to you my prairie rose
Though I’m not sure I can explain your strange allure
Oh prairie rose
A crown of thorns, a scented flower

Hey, hey… You can take it from me
Hey, hey… I’ll be home and you’ll see
Hey, hey… I better leave right away
Hey, hey… I can hear you calling me

Hey, hey… Prairie rose
Hey, hey… Prairie rose
Hey, hey… Prairie rose
Hey, hey… I hear your voice and it keeps me from sleeping

Prairie rose

Hey, hey… Prairie rose
Hey, hey… Prairie rose
Hey, hey… Prairie rose
Hey, hey… Prairie rose
