Jerry Jeff Walker Leavin` Texas Lyrics

Leavin` Texas Lyrics

Texas this morning the sounds they just sing to me

I feel alive again and with every footstep that's settin me free

Hey old friends, 

  keep alive the good times we've had in those rollin',

  rollin' hills

They will always be a part of me

whenever I think of Texas memories



CHORUS

Oh Texas I'm just a little lost but I'm keepin' on,

Just like that morning star, that's ahead of me,

I keep shinin' on

'til I make it to the borders of the Rio Grande

There I'll catch me one last sunset 'cross the prairie



Well everything is movin right, so movin's right

Still I can't deny that old loneliness that comes sometimes

But every mile and footstep goin' down

Ain't no way a man keeps a count,

you just never forget that lonely stretch

where you keep on for keepin on



CHORUS x 2
