I've gone through Arizona, right through New Mexico 

I'm gonna keep on driving just as hard as I can go 

I'm an Interstate daddy

Taking my lonely heart back home

I'm going back to Texas 

Back to the only gal I've ever known



That Lone Star spirit is right here by my side 

When I cross through old El Paso my heart will fill with pride

Ain't gonna stop for nothing

Till I see the lights of San Antone

I'm going back to Texas

Back to the only love I've ever known



I'm going back to Texas, that's how it's gonna stay

Back to my old stomping grounds and the joints I used to play

And when I get back home

Lord, I know I'll never be alone

I'm going back to Texas 

Back to the only gal I've ever known
