Lone Star

I can see that lone star from a thousand miles away Calling me back home, though I've ventured far astray When I see that beacon shining for me all alone It calls me back to Texas and to home Lone star shine down on my hometown Fill my memory, light my way Cattle in the old corral, the open range all 'round Sunlight and the smell of new mown hay I remember, though, I've wandered and much happiness I've found Still, I wish that I could be back there today I know my home is waiting for me by the river shore I know that all the ones I love would welcome me once more In dreams, I see them now, though it seems I'm bound to roam My thoughts are still of Texas and of home Cattle in the old corral, the open range all 'round Sunlight and the smell of new mown hay I remember, though, I've wandered and much happiness I've found Still, I wish that I could be back there today I know my home is waiting for me by the river shore (lone star shine down) I know that all the ones I love would welcome me once more (on my hometown) In dreams, I see them now, though it seems I'm bound to roam (fill my memory) My thoughts are still of Texas and of home (light my way)
