Lyrics
The stars at night are big and bright
Deep in the heart of Texas
The prairie sky is wide and high
Deep in the heart of Texas
The coyotes wail along the trail
Deep in the heart of Texas
The rabbits rush around the brush
Deep in the heart of Texas
The chicken hocks are full of squawks
Deep in the heart of Texas
The oil wells are full of smells
Deep in the heart of Texas
The cactus plants are tough on pants
Deep in the heart of Texas
That's why perhaps, they all wear shafts
Deep in the heart of Texas
The cowboys cry "kaj-yippee-aye"
Deep in the heart of Texas
The doggies ball, and say you all
Deep in the heart of Texas
The cactus plants are tough on pants
Deep in the heart of Texas
That's why perhaps, they all wear shafts
Deep in the heart of Texas
